Today, I had a book signing and the conversation came up about loving yourself after this young lady read an excerpt from my book. She turned to me and asked "How do you learn to love yourself?"  

Here is the excerpt from "Born To Be Rich" By Janine A Ingram 


You have to love yourself no matter where you are in life, no matter what or how you feel about yourself. You have to learn to appreciate yourself for the person you are within. No matter the size, the color, the hair—God made you and he made you special. He made you with a purpose.

When you learn to appreciate you, the world learns to appreciate you. When you learn to love you, the world learns to love you as well. I’m telling you that loving yourself is the most powerful experience you’ll ever have. Remember a time when you’ve been in love; when the window of love opens up and you feel excitement and anticipation. You light up like a Christmas tree and you’re so vibrant everyone can see. I remember that feeling, and I would say each time, “God, this is such a fantastic feeling.” And it’s so wonderful when the world opens up and reminds you what love is.
One day I stepped into the shower and I asked God to heal me and teach me how to love myself. Then I put out there in the Universe that I wanted to be in love with myself the same way it felt when I was in love with someone else. I wanted to wake up saying, “Janine, I love you,” and mean it as strongly as if I was speaking those words to another person. I wanted to fix a candlelight dinner for Janine, run that bathwater with bubbles and put the music on just for Janine. I wanted to be in love with myself like that. I can remember praying and meditating every day. It was only through those actions-being still and learning to love Janine that God began to speak to me. I learned what it was, how it is, and what it was all about. Only then did I start on the path of self-discovery that I’m still learning today. I’m probably not one-hundred percent, but I’m getting better and better every day. And so I wanted to share this story with you because I prayed hard to convey the simple meaning of what love is, how powerful it can be and how it can change your life. The loving Father can only do for you what He can do through you, and it’s through your own thoughts and feelings of expectation that love is born. As you deliberately express love it comes back to you multiplied.

Drop the mic...just reading that excerpt it sent chills to my spine. I turned to her and said. You must sit still with yourself focus in on the heart and simply ask how can I learn to love you. Also check the last blog out on The Mirror Work.
