“Encourage yourself, believe in yourself, and love yourself. Never doubt who you are.”

There is nothing wrong with loving yourself.

I honestly do not know why it is seen as such a negative thing to love yourself. Some say loving yourself displays arrogance and vanity. For me, thinking that you are better than everyone else is arrogance. 

A question which comes into mind is how can you ever love someone else, if for one you cannot even love yourself. 

Self love is SO important. 

. Now, in my opinion, loving yourself is not only limited to appearance. Its more about believing yourself that you can accomplish tasks and be successful in everything you are determined to do.

You need to be able to be confident about yourself.

I have always doubted myself. Always. This mainly was due to the fact that I would always compare myself to other people (sad truth).

You see the problem with this is that, whilst I was focused on the achievements other people were accomplishing, I was not making any progress of my own.

I was stuck. I became stagnant.

Thus, I concluded this: use these people as motivation to do better and to strive in all aspects of your life. 

Personally, this had changed me.

I had begun to move from that position of self loathe and moved into a new place... one of reflection and self evaluation.

 I'm not perfect (yet), but I have lost the tendency to doubt myself. 

You should too.
