Introduction

• Self-worth is a powerful determinant of one’s quality of life. It is the self-perception of one’s right to achieve happiness and be given respect, of one’s ability to understand and solve problems, and to triumph in the small and big challenges of life.By empowering oneself, enriching relationships, and embracing innovations, we provide a safe space for communities and champion the iniingatan, inaalagaan, at inaasikaso experience.A thought leader that inspires people to empower and affirm their self-worth to create ripples of positive change.

Purpose

• LoveYourself believes that self-worth is key to building an empowered community. We exist to ignite in each one an active desire for a healthy and vibrant self-worth, especially among the youth and males who have sex with males (MSMs). 

Description

• LoveYourself Inc (for the Youth & LGBT-MSM) is a community of volunteers that aim to reach out to others to propagate ideas, attitudes, and practices that encourage loving oneself — to DARE to be oneself, to CARE for oneself, and to SHARE oneself as a way to multiply joy.

Dare

•Dare to be one’s self. Dare to deep dive into one’s self, and enhance self awareness. You cannot love someone that you do not know. By knowing yourself truly, madly, and deeply.

Care

• Care for one’s self. Care to actively pursue tending one’s needs and wants. By caring for ourselves, we enhance the natural well-being that we are blessed with. It allows us to enjoy both the little and big things that life has to offer. It let us experience the things that make us joyful and feel good about ourselves. Also, caring leads us to avoid anything that harms our natural well-being constantly mindful of our personal security and safety.

Share

• Share one’s self. “Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.” When you love yourself, your life will become full of joy. In turn, you will be able to share your time and talents with others. You will also be surrounded by other generous souls who also give themselves to others. Sharing one’s self can be a route back to joy, especially if you are experiencing fear and a troubled situation. When you love yourself, you will engage a trusted partner or friend so you can together look that fear in the eye and blast it to pieces with love.

Support

• Through awareness, education, counseling, fun social interactions, and activities that weave these elements into a unity, we take delight in spreading our message of the value of self-worth and the critical importance of loving oneself.
