Self-judgment can overshadow self-love, leading to an inability to extend the same kindness to oneself that is easily given to others. The tendency to hold oneself to impossible standards creates a cycle of feeling inadequate. Mistakes and conflict in personal and professional relationships can lead to pain, challenging the belief that life can be controlled. Authentic connections often lead to growth and self-discovery, prompting a reevaluation of one's self-worth compared to that of others.
"When it comes to others, I see light and love. I see confusion and fear behind their misguided actions. I see mistakes as learning opportunities."
"I’ve always wished I could treat myself with the same love I’ve extended to others, but instead, I set myself a different set of standards-ones that cannot be reached because they’re unrealistic."
