Have you ever asked yourself this question before? Who you love the most? I run a survey recently to a lot of people. Their ultimate answer is the name of their parents, kids, spouse or significance others.

That is perfectly correct if you said your family members, your children or your spouse! You are alright! But, do you have a moment to think about it, do you love yourself while you spend your whole life to love others? How many of us show the same care, same love, same attention towards ourselves?

I always said I will not fall in love with those that do not know how to take care of himself. Because if he do not even know how to love himself, how I expect him to love me? Self love is the prerequisite before you love others!

Even if you are not a salesperson, you may experience this once a while. How do you feel with this rejection? Feeling angry, frustrated or even depress because each of the day, you are facing with so many rejections?
