Jon Gordon in his delightful book The Garden, said:
"Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
Love is what connects you and God.
It connects you to each other.
It connects you to yourself."

The trifecta: God, others, yourself. The completion of Jesus's greatest commandment:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. And secondly, Love your neighbor as yourself. [Mark 12:30,31]
We sometimes look past the part where He said love your neighbor as yourself. Thus, we have to love ourself as foundational. This sometimes is the hardest part of that directive.
