You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
