These Quotes Will Change The Way You Think About Self-Love
Your relationship with yourself is the most important one in your life.
I don’t understand why self-love is a taboo topic.
While we admire confident people, we tend to belittle those who genuinely love themselves.
Yet, self-love is one of the greatest powers we can use to live a happy and fulfilled life full of joy.
If you don’t love yourself, why would others do?
If you don’t make time for yourself, why would others do?
Loving yourself doesn’t mean being selfish. On the contrary: Self-love is not an emotion but constant work.
It’s tough, and it requires a vast amount of honesty, but it’s totally worth it.
We all make mistakes, and while forgiving those who hurt us is hard, forgiving ourselves for significant mistakes is even more difficult.
Many people spend their lives feeling miserable because they can’t forgive themselves for mistakes they made years or even decades ago.
Self-love can look different for anyone. While I might appreciate taking some time off and reading a good book, it might be a different activity that you prefer.
Yet, at the end of the day, it comes down to the same thing:
Appreciating ourselves for who we are now while still working on becoming an even better version of ourselves in the future.
Loving yourself means accepting yourself, including your past. We all make mistakes, and we all have regrets, but there’s no reason to carry those mistakes with us until the end of our lives.
Life is much more fun once we accept our faults and start appreciating ourselves for who we are.
“You’re always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company.” — Diane Von Furstenberg
I believe this quote entirely sums up why we should care about self-love and even teach it to children at school.
Everyone except you can leave you.
