TRUE SELF-LOVE IS THE KEY TO LIFE.
Are you insecure and in resistance to yourself?
It’s such an exhausting way to live.
Instead of feelings of self-hatred, start to view everything you don’t like about yourself as a gift.
Why?
Because once you start to love yourself, you can begin to love others.
It sounds like a cliche. But it’s the truth.
Self-love is a truly powerful practice.
When we start to work on our inside, the outside starts to fix itself.
