To be self-loving is one of the most important accomplishments in life. Though it can take a lifetime.
Why is it that we are so judging towards ourselves, when the most logical is that we are deeply in love with the ones we share this one life with. Including ourselves.
Sometimes it is easer to judge or be anxiousness on an act or something we have done. Instead of trusting yourself and appreciate that you are only here on this planet once, so you might as well build self-love.
