Wise life lessons.

I think one important thing to do consistently in our personal journeys to develop greater self-esteem and self-respect, is to take a moment to pause, recognize and appreciate what we've gone through and achieved thus far in our journeys. This should indeed be applied to any process of growing and trying to improve ourselves.

By doing this, we'll be able to develop a greater sense of pride and appreciation for ourselves as well as our resilience for making it this far.

Wouldn't it be lovely if we had one good friend who understood how to respond like your hairdresser? :) Or, on the other hand, we can all be our own best friend and be as non-judgmental as he is. It is really a process to develop self-esteem in all areas of our lives, but if we decide to do it, we can, at least much of the time. Sending love, Sandra! <3

I loved this story. I'm glad you had someone who could reinforce your beauty and uniqueness. These simple messages are so true, but so hard to remember in a world that doesn't generally reinforce them.
