Love yourself on Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's day, so many of us are thinking about the people in our lives we love. My question for you is, do you love yourself? As cliche as it may sound, if you don't love yourself, you can't love and care for those in your life who need, want, and deserve you and your love. While it is appropriate to hold ourselves to reasonable standards, and we all get frustrated with ourselves at times (because, you know, we're all human) if you can't love yourself first in spite of your shortcomings, you won't be capable of compassionate love for others. If you are struggling in this area, please talk to someone. Your family and friends deserve it. You deserve it.
