SELF-LOVE QUOTES
1. Loving yourself isn’t narcissism, it’s a tool for survival, perseverance, and thriving in life.
2. It’s not about waiting to be perfect to love who you are, it’s about accepting yourself no matter where you are or what your struggles, mistakes, or shortcomings are. From there, you can go and change anything you want to change because it doesn’t serve your vision for your life.
3. If you wait for others to tell you you’re worthy to believe it, you’ll spend your whole life convincing others, when the only one in need of convincing is YOU.
4. If you stay in a place where you don’t belong for too long, you’ll be too weak to leave if you don’t wake up to face the truth on time.
5. Proving that you’re worthy of love to others who are not willing to acknowledge it the first time, is a waste of your energy, time, and life.
3 Biggest Mistakes With Self-acceptance
6. Self-love is not about being compassionate and respectful towards yourself only when you’re at your peak performance, but also when you’re down or failing.
7. If you love yourself only when you fit social norms, constructs, and conventions, reconsider whether you agree with those norms before you pronounce yourself not good enough.
8. Give up on trying to please others and focus on meeting your own expectations and following your true desires instead.
9. If you think that presenting yourself as perfect will get others or you to truly appreciate who you are, it’s time to change your mind and focus on living an authentic life that will bring fulfillment instead of picture-perfect life that can only expand the void even more.
10. Love yourself, and you’ll never be selfish.

If you’re struggling with cultivating self-love at this moment, you’re ten steps ahead of those who keep avoiding dealing with their dissatisfaction with their lives by compensating by acquiring more and more materialistic things. Just keep moving forward because your struggle now will make you thrive tomorrow once you take the first step towards change.
18. Self-love doesn’t involve satisfying any need or want at any given moment and feeling only pleasure all the time. It brings a soothing and calming place to go to, so that you don’t have to behave that way.
19. Being responsive and sensible to the needs of others – even being in service of others – will positively contribute to self-love and personal growth.
20. Self-love comes from knowing and owning your value, which means increasing self-love is not and should never be considered selfish.
21. Self-love is perceived as selfish because it gets confused with practices such as a relentless chase after satisfying your needs and wants, your convenience, or your pleasure at any given moment. When you truly love yourself you’re not selfish, you’re giving.
Before we move on to the next quote let me ask you..
ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER AND MOVE BEYOND HOPING FOR SELF-LOVE TO APPEAR IN YOUR LIFE?
If you, or someone you care about is eager to find a way to positively contribute to the level of self-acceptance and obtain more self-love, consider a program dedicated specifically for this calledLIVE BY YOUR OWN RULESby Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani, a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and co-founder of Mindvalley, hosted onMindvalley platform.
Live By Your Own Rulesis a self-exploration that leads to self-discovery, self-liberation, and embracing authenticity.
It’ll take only 15 minutes of your day over 31 days, where Kristina will guide you through her unique process to shed the light on masks of society, identify your personal truths, and nurture your relationship with themselves.
You’ll understandhow you’ve been restrained by societal standards and expectations about who you need to be to be accepted and valued. And this is why self-love has been so far away from you, distant, elusive, or even felt unreachable, but it doesn’t have to be anymore.
Instead of being captivated by fabricated societal norms, you’ll learn ways to innovate on how you work, love, play, and even fulfill your purpose, define happiness, pleasure, and success according to your own rules and criteria not someone else’s you don’t even know or care about.
And as your journey brings deeper connection with yourself, you’ll begin to accept all parts of yourself, as you live, and express yourself truthfully.
By the end of the Quest, your relationship with yourself can become so solid that standards of society will never have the jeopardize your authenticity again.
If you want to start the program (called Quest inside the Membership) or you want to give it as a gift to someone, you can do it by getting theMindvalley membershipor buying just thisprogram.
