Your happiness is in the palm of your hand. Love and happiness go hand in hand. Loving someone means making their health and happiness a high priority. Choosing to make happiness for self and others your ultimate concern is the practical application of loving self and others. An important element of self-esteem and happiness is loving yourself and others unconditionally.
Unconditional love can overcome the criticism, negativity, and dysfunctional treatment from others.
Loving self and others unconditionally means finding something beautiful and worthwhile in ourselves and others no matter what we are or what we have done. No matter how unintelligent, ugly, uneducated, poor, or sick we are. No matter how much we have failed or done bad or stupid things. No matter what anyone thinks of us. No matter if no one else in the world likes us or not.
