We all go through rough patches sometimes, and many of us tend to blame ourselves when things go wrong. The thing about true self-love is that it’s the hard times that truly prove how important it is. Can you obtain it through an external makeover, new clothes, or a new relationship? The answer to all these is no. While all these things are gratifying and make us feel good, self-love and acceptance are more than a passing good feeling.
It is a state of mind which allows us to accept our weaknesses as well as our strengths, have less need to explain away our shortcomings, have compassion for ourselves as human beings struggling to find meaning, are more centered in our life purpose and values, and expect living fulfillment through our own efforts. Of course, it is dynamic and evolving and not always easy. We hope these inspirational quotes can be a helpful reminder to be kind to yourself.
