There is no such thing as instant gratification when working on yourself, you have to put in the work, and you are the only one that can make this happen. It can feel a bit like an emotional autopsy, but in time it's worth it. We have to start by deconstructing our foundational beliefs of ourselves before beginning the work of building a new, stronger foundation. Your relationship with yourself is far more important than any relationship you can have with anyone else.
There are 133 epigraphs in this book, each with its very own message. Knowing yourself is often more important than loving yourself because when we know our triggers and our self-sabotage, we can work on not only loving ourselves but creating a fulfilling relationship with ourselves.
