Happiness Self Love Quotes

“The self-love needed for self-care [is] missing. Academicians use terms like self-esteem, self-worth, self-support, self-care, but rarely self-love. That is left to the spiritual community.

The wrong mental attitude can be devastating in the world. If you have true self esteem and high self love you can share that love with the world around you.

How can you expect others to love you if you don’t love yourself?

If you don’t love yourself, you might accept a type of love that is less than what you deserve.

It can feel like it’s easier to love others than to love ourselves.

We can give amazing advice to other people about how they can develop their own self-esteem, but when that conversation is over, we can still struggle with loving ourselves.

And, instead of encouraging ourselves, we’re blaming ourselves for our past.

We’ve all been there, lying in bed in the middle of the night, beating ourselves up.

But the good news is that we can change how we think and talk to ourselves.

You can feel good about yourself.

Our confidence will come from self-love.
Our compassion and empathy will come from our ability to forgive and see the best in ourselves.
