I think this is it, personally, but with an important caveat. Loving oneself first, I think, denotes a sense of priority as well. You cannot shape yourself (beyond the scope of knocking off a bad habit or the like...I'm speaking to more broad personality changes) into something else for the love of someone else. You have to love yourself first for who you are before you can love someone else in a relationship.
