About This Quote

Building a good relationship with ourselves is essential for inner fulfilment, especially when we run into a large reality gap. The quote above comes from the book ‘The Slight Edge: Turning Tricks Into Truth’ by Jeff Olson, PhD. It talks about how we can learn to build a deeper relationship with ourselves by finding ways to increase both the quantity and quality of our self-talk. I think this quote hits to the core of how we should be thinking and acting in our lives.

We need to be caring and loving towards ourselves, and do things that make us happy and feel like we are improving as a person. At the same time we should be building healthy relationships with other people and strive to make them happy as well. The key is doing what we love and being happy!
