When we talk about having "good self-esteem", what we mean is that we accept who and what we are without feeling the driving need to be somebody else's idea of "perfection". This doesn't mean we don't need or want to change something about our bodies or lives, but that we respect and appreciate ourselves while we're in the process of making these changes or facing new challenges! Take a look at this comedy video and watch a woman with fantastic self-esteem taking joy in the Now!
When you love yourself, it is easier to love more.
Love makes us bolder and stronger.
When you give to others, you find that you are giving to yourself.
Give everyone you meet a gift: a smile, a hug,
a kind thought, a flower, a prayer, a poem of appreciation,
do them a favor if you can.
What you are doing for or to others is what you are doing for or to yourself.
