At the most basic level, each of us is in pursuit our own well-being. When we garner acceptance or praise, we feel like we’ve earned the right to feel good. The irony is that we can allow ourselves to feel good any time we want. The gateway to well-being is self-love. We don’t need to withhold appreciation for ourselves until certain conditions are met. Since we’re far more effective at everything when we love and accept ourselves, it makes sense to appreciate ourselves exactly as we are…

Right now.
