What I know is that you can't give away something that you do not have. If you don't have a sincere appreciation for who you are, then you have failed to accept and love yourself.
How can one love another if they fail to love themselves? The greatest gift you can give to you is unconditional acceptance. You may say but what about all my flaws? I did not say embrace the flaws, just accept the reality that you have some flaws that you want and need to change. After all it is who you are.
I like to give people an exercise to look themselves in the mirror and repeat..."Whatever my flaws and defects are, I accept myself fully and completely so that I can make a change."
If you are not able to accept yourself fully, then you are not able to face the reality of who you really are. And if you can't face who you really are, you will never have the courage to change what needs to be changed. Dr. Guy
Give yourself the gift of self-acceptance!
