We are taught anything but acceptance of the inner peace and consciousness.
After reading smart books, many think that only arrogance, indifference and disrespect for others is an indicator of self-love, completely unaware of the substitution of concepts.
Having fallen in love with yourself, you will not have the need to be rude and shout at others, having fallen in love with yourself you cannot but respect, having loved yourself, you simply stop paying attention to the words of others, now only you know the truth about yourself. There is no need to wait until you are appreciated, understood or loved.
You become so complete and invulnerable that the people around you and the events in life begin to change by themselves, aligning in the right direction.
It's really incredible how a whole life can turn upside down in an instant. Where earlier you were looking for reassurance, you begin to understand that there you are no longer interested. It's like a living mechanism that finally started working properly. And then the most interesting thing happens, you accept people as they are, because they can no longer influence your thoughts and events in life. Now everything that happens around you happens only with your consent and you cannot be unhappy or unloved, because the only person who truly believes, respects and loves you is only you.
