What is Self-Love?
In short, self love is the forgiveness, acceptance, and respect for who you are
deep down – all your beautiful and hideous parts included. When you love
yourself, you take care of yourself, you honour your limitations, you listen to
your needs and you respect your dreams enough to act on them. When you
love yourself, your happiness, health, and fulfilment are all of supreme
importance because you realise that without loving yourself, you will never be
able to genuinely love others.
