Self Love

What do we understand about the word "self-love"? Is it something we deserve? Will it make us selfish? Will we become so self-absorbed that we ignore other people and their feelings? No.

Self-love shows that you believe you are just as worthy as anyone else to grow and be happy. Each person will define their concept of self-love and develop a harmonious lifestyle with their thinking.
