Would you like you, if you met you?

Most people might answer this incorrectly.

It’s easy to point out what’s wrong with others.

But taking a hard look at oneself? That’s difficult.

I see this everywhere.

Now, imagine talking to yourself.

Would you listen for even 5 minutes?

Could you have dinner with yourself?

Would hanging out with you be enjoyable?

You might try every possible move in the world…

Yet, not liking yourself is something you can never outrun.

How do I know?

Once, I was filled with self-hatred…

And that hatred extended to the world around me.

But when I began to appreciate myself,

My view of the world transformed.

It’s funny…

There’s no amount of money that can help you escape this.

No journey far enough.

No drink strong enough.

Only a tough, honest conversation with yourself can lead to change.
