November 6, 2019
Topic: Self-love
General Purpose: To Motivate
Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, my audience will understand the importance of
giving love, not only to other people but most especially to one’s self.

INTRODUCTION
I. To love yourself is not just simply boosting up your self-esteem. It is the prerequisite
to genuinely love others. Self-love forms the foundation of your most important
relationship-- with yourself. The strength of all your other relationships is exactly equal
to the strength of that foundation.
II. Thesis Statement: Achieving true self-love is claimed to be one of the most
challenging adventures that happens from within.
III. This speech will give the audience an idea of how loving yourself can improve and
develop one’s self-esteem and character, one’s relationship to other people and why
this should be done without any doubts.

BODY
I. Statement of the Problem: Loving one’s self is not all about putting one’s life over anyone
or anything. However, it is always associated with being selfish or self-centered that is
why some people find it difficult to love themselves for they fear of being judged and
misunderstood.
a. This should be seen as a great start for people to fully accept who they are and
learn how to embrace the consequences of whatever choice or decisions they
make.
b. This is a way of developing and strengthening relationships with other people— by
giving respect and love.
c. A good approach to cultivate positivity and inspire other people.

CONCLUSION

I. Summary of Main Points: To better understand the importance of self-love, we:

a. Proposed possible solutions to improve the self-love in oneself, and
b. Analyzed the benefits of the solutions and the possible outcomes of it.
II. Call to Action: Knowing how timely the problem is, we should understand that this
wouldn’t be possible and wouldn’t happen overnight. To effectively do so, I encourage
you to:
a. Always have time to rest and give yourself the recognition it deserves.
b. Focus on what matters. You don’t anyone’s validation, you don’t have to do what
everyone is doing. Quality over quantity.
c. Reflect, learn, embrace and forgive. You may won’t be able to prevent bad
situations from happening but you can always choose to look on the good side.
III. Closure: For us to be able to live a fulfilling life, we must learn how to love life. We
must see this as an opportunity to grow as a person and develop relationships— with
yourself and with other people. It is a need that we should give ourselves every day
because we deserve it, a form of gratitude. It is never selfish to love ourselves because
if so, then how can we love others? Let us keep in mind that we can only give that
which we have.
