I think unconditional love is what a mother feels for her baby, and not what you should feel for yourself. Author Margaret Halsey said in a Newsweek editorial: “The [false] idea is that inside every human being, however unprepossessing, there is a glorious, talented, and overwhelmingly attractive personality. Nonsense.

Inside each of us is a mess of unruly, primitive impulses, and these can sometimes, under the strenuous self-discipline and dedication of art, result in notable creativity.”

I couldn’t agree more. If we’re too approving of ourselves too early, we may never be motivated to move onward. Yes, of course you should feel pleased at the day’s job well done, the face and body exercised and well-groomed, but heavy self-love must be earned.
