Two fundamental questions that many people ponder are “What should I do when life is hard?” and “What should I do when I feel lonely?” The simple answer can come when you take a close, sincere look at yourself and your life. To understand the nature of these questions, ask yourself if you’ve ever felt love for yourself? If you love who you are? The existence of love is in these questions. Most unhappy people don’t love themselves for the person they are in the present moment, and might not love themselves in the future. So first to overcome struggles when life is hard or when you feel lonely, you have to love yourself. You have to live with unconditional love for yourself and spread it.

Instead, I will say yes to my happiness, and yes to my growth, and yes to all the people and things that inspire me to be authentic and whole, while at the same time accepting me just as I am. My yes, from here on out, is my pledge to live honestly, my commitment to love myself fiercely, and my cry to create my best life possible. YES!
