Liking oneself as first step in liking and leading others



Do you agree? I heard or read this somewhere that the beginning to a truly nourishing relationship is to begin liking oneself. The logic goes that if one likes himself or herself, there is radiance or glow that emanates from the person's heart.

And that same person is able to share the inner stability, sensitivity to capture the hearts of other people. No wonder optimist people are usually leaders in their own right. I remember a cliche when it says,

If you are enthusiastic for 3 min, it will last 3 days.
If you are enthusiastic for 3 days, it will last 3 weeks,
If you are enthusiastic for 3 weeks, it will last 3 years
If you are enthusiastic for 3 years, it will last 30 years!

Enthusiasm, positive attitude and right frame of mind can indeed lengthen one's life.

Agree?
