“Learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness.- Ayn Rand, writer

“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”- George Orwell

If you want to live a happy life, you must accept who you are. You must accept your failures, your mistakes, your strengths and weaknesses. Learn how to be happy and comfortable with yourself. You are unique. You are special.

You are who you are. Nobody can change you. You can change yourself by changing your mind. If you want to change yourself, start by changing how you think and what you consistently think about yourself. The rest will follow.

Once you allow your mind to accept who you are, there is nothing anyone can do to change you, or to make you unhappy. Nobody can make you unhappy. Only you can make yourself unhappy. You do that by trying to live other people’s lives. If you try to be who you are not, you are painfully living someone else’s life. How painful is that? Very painful!

Live your life. Accept yourself. “Nobody is better than you.” Say it to yourself every day. Thank you for saying it!

To Know Yourself, You Must Love Yourself

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination.”– Maya Angelou

“Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.”– Washington Irving

“Love is everywhere, and I am loving and lovable.”– Louis Hay

Nothing great happens without love. Love is life. If you don’t love yourself, you are a stranger to yourself. To know yourself, to be closer to yourself, you must love yourself. You must be comfortable with yourself- with your weaknesses.

Love means acceptance.

It does not matter what other people are doing. What really matters is what you are doing to make your life a success. When you focus on what other people are doing, you are neglecting what is important to you: your life.

Focus on yourself. Everyday is a new beginning. Don’t miss it. You must accept yourself. You must accept your weaknesses. You must accept your failures. You must accept your mistakes. You must not compare yourself to other people. You must live your life. It is your life. You have the right to live it the way you want. It starts with loving yourself. It starts with forgiving yourself. You can’t love yourself without forgiving yourself. You must be willing to forgive yourself. You must be willing to forgive yourself, so that love can grow.

Whatever you are struggling with right now, love can change it. For it to happen, you must love yourself.
