About This Quote
People often ask why they and everyone they love is picked on and treated like nothing. The answer to that question is that we accept the love we think we deserve. We actually believe that we are worthless and that we don't deserve to be loved. It's much easier for us to accept the fact that we are not loved than it is for us to accept the fact that we are lovable. We give ourselves permission to believe that we are bad when in reality, we deserve much more than what we actually receive in life because of how much we truly care and value ourselves.
