Your circumstances, personality, and how you were brought up are all things that can influence how you see yourself and how much you love yourself. Sometimes, your own expectations of how your life should be can be the main obstacles that stop you from loving yourself wherever you are in your life, whatever you are feeling. 

Danielle Ford opens up about her journey towards self-love, which has not been an easy one and it has been filled with emotional moments and breakthroughs. One of the things she realized in this process is that she was giving so much of her love to others and trying to make others happy while forgetting about herself.

  • Looking for love and assertions that you are worthy of love in others only works for so long. 
  • You get to choose what you want your life to be and what you make of it.
  • Always be your best but always keep in mind that what “your best” is might change from day to day, and that’s okay. 
  • Love from others often comes at the exact time when you start loving yourself.
