Have you ever heard this saying:

“Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.”

This is one of the most important things in life: to get to be happy with yourself. Almost impossible at young ages, loving yourself can be your gate to happiness, if you manage to find the key to it.

How many times, as a teenager, have you though that you hate the way your hair looks, that you hate the fact that you don’t have white teeth like the movie stars, or that you cannot sing like a nightingale? Too many times perhaps.

Don’t envy other people for what they have or for what they are. Think what they had to do to become that person, or to have those things. Are you willing to do the same? If you do, then just start living your dream. If you don’t, find yourself another dream and leave other people alone, as you don’t need to live their life in order to be happy.

If you feel miserable, just get yourself a cat. Cats can be very good stress relieves, they are too good to be true. And they never treat you like you were a second rate human being. They treat you just like you were any other cat, but a bit bigger.

If you are in pain, think of the ones who are in bigger pain than you do. Only imagine lots of people caring for aging parents and having to endure all the misery of seeing their mind getting worse day after day, without any reversal possibility. Yes, we are all going to either die too young or to end up just like our old parents, but it still hurts seeing them losing their minds.
