In our journey to find happiness and success we to over look one critical thing. That is we need to love ourselves first. Without truly loving yourself you will never truly have happiness in your life or be able to truly make that special someone in your life happy either. Many times we are our own worse enemy.

Thanks to the power of our inner critics, most of us have a very poor opinion of ourselves. Yet self-contempt merely keeps us miserable and stuck in our mediocrity.

If we were to make only one change to transform the quality of our lives, we might try sending a little love our own way.

“A critic is a legless man who teaches running.”

~ Channing Pollock

~ Barbara Sher
