"Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If your goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward
toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the "correct" feelings
towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve
of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what
brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not object. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you."
