Loving yourself is a paramount importance of your own well-being. Because if you don't love another person, you can always choose to walk away from that person. But if you dislike yourself, you can never run away from yourself.
Loving yourself has nothing to do with faking anything or lying to yourself. In fact, it has to do with the complete opposite. Loving yourself begins with honesty and being true to yourself. Accept your flaws, but never deny your strengths and your God-given talents.
I believe in TRUTH as a solution to our problems.
