About This Quote
Some people are afraid to love themselves because they are afraid it will make them vulnerable. They are afraid of being hurt, of getting hurt, of wanting too much. But what is the opposite of love? It's fear -- fear of loss, fear of success, fear of pain, or even fear of happiness. Fear keeps us from our own potential. We may not be able to eliminate fear, but we can choose to overcome it by loving ourselves.
