Love yourself. One of the biggest mistakes I made growing up was that I didn’t love who I was. I never did. Part of that was because I didn’t know how to love myself in a world I feared could never love me. If I thought that nobody had the ability to truly love me, than how could I ever love myself?
It’s easy for me to say, “Love yourself,” and it’s harder to actually put into practice. Spend a portion of your day reciting out loud the parts yourself that you love. Maybe you’re good at sports? Or something creative like art or writing. Or maybe you’re a pop culture aficionado. Or maybe you’re just a genuinely good person who strives to make a difference in the world. Look at yourself and repeat out loud everything that you have to offer. Believe those words. Be those words.
Be the change you wish to see.
