The one rule I believe everyone should follow is "if you can't love yourself how are you gonna love anybody else?" The day I heard Rupaul say it it hit me like a ton of bricks. It's true, if you can't love yourself, how can you show you love others? You are just as important as everyone else. How will you love your pets, your family, and your significant other?
In order to love yourself you should write a list of all the things you're good at, and all the things you like about yourself. Write a list of your 'flaws' and the things you don't like. Then rip it up and burn it because you're perfect and beautiful and great. Take the positive list, hang it on your wall and read it twice a day, when you wake up, and when you go to sleep. Another good tip is to look in the mirror and tell yourself " I'm a pretty princess and everyone and every animal deserves love even if they're gross."
I agree with your rule. If you don't love yourself nobody will love you.
