As we develop friendships and loving relationships, we discover that others do love us for who we are... quirks and all. They are not as judgmental towards us as we, perhaps, are to ourselves.
So once we recognize that others see that we are worthy of being loved, we can accept that we can love ourselves, even if we don't live up to our own expectations for our own self.
We remind ourselves that we are loved just the way we are. Every day, we tell ourselves: I love you and I am loved.
Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

by Marie T. Russell

Join me again tomorrow for the Daily Inspiration and focus of the day.
