“The essence of self-love is that of complete acceptance of your total experience, especially those aspects that feel challenging. Sure, it’s easy to embrace what is beautiful and well behaved, but far more difficult even to tolerate—let alone love—the parts that are messy and painful. Yet, it’s the tarnished, unruly parts that need your acceptance the most in order to change.”
