There are many images of how we should look, what we should consume, what material items we should possess, and the list goes on. This false sense of identity keeps us chasing things that may not be in our best interest and does not define who we are within.
How you see yourself is a self-fulfilling prophecy. We all have something in us that makes us unique. Take the time to discover who you are. What works for one person may not necessarily work for you. A new outfit, cosmetic surgery, or tangible item does not make you any different internally. You will still have the same insecurities with these items as you did without them if you are not secure within yourself.
Loving yourself begins with making a conscious decision to be happy with who you are and channeling that energy to lead a more fulfilling life. The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.
