Why Do You Need to Love Yourself?

Don't wait for others to appreciate you.

You don't have to wait for others or a special day to recognize your efforts if you've done an excellent job as a mother, father, or teacher. Why not start by appreciating yourself for your efforts?

 Most of us let others decide whether or not we are good enough. We allow others to determine our value and happiness. However, appreciation does not always follow. Just because you put time and effort into something does not guarantee that others will appreciate it.

What if no one recognizes your efforts? Does this imply that your efforts have been in vain? Are you going to blame them for not being thankful?

Self-appreciation is preferable to waiting for or seeking approval from others. Because it is something we can influence. People are also more likely to appreciate someone who appreciates themselves.
