Self-love gets overlooked or confused with egotists.

Being egotistical is having a sense of personal importance. It means you have created an identity that is defined by your own thought patterns and conditioning. Ego wants everything. Even things that you can never own, like another human being.

Two women sitting outside at a table, engaging in conversation, one is smiling and gesturing, with a speech bubble saying, "I'M SOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!". Both women are wearing red dresses, and there is a drink with a straw on the table.

Self-love is the key to unlocking our true potential and living a fulfilling life. It is the act of embracing and accepting oneself unconditionally, flaws and all. When we practice self-love, we prioritize our own well-being and happiness.

By practicing self-love, we develop a strong sense of self-worth, enabling us to pursue our dreams and face challenges with confidence and resilience. It is through self-love that we can truly thrive and live our lives to the fullest.
