Comfort Isn’t Self-Love

Quit using the popular rhetoric "love yourself" as an excuse to be a lazy piece of shit.

Real self-love has nothing to do with comfort...

Accepting yourself for who you are...

...and overindulging in the habits that keep you weak and dependent.

The literal opposite is the truth.

Truly loving yourself means trading the short-term comfort for the uncomfortable actions and habits that build your future.

…because comfort doesn’t build anything.

Comfort preserves exactly who you are right now.

Could you live with the current version of yourself that stares back at you in the mirror for the rest of your life?

No?

Then quit lying to yourself.

You cannot love yourself until your habits and standards are a reflection of the person you want to become inside your heart.

If you don’t like your life…

Your habits built it.

If you don’t like who you see in the mirror…

Your standards allowed it.

Loving yourself doesn’t mean protecting your feelings.

It means drawing a line in the fucking sand between who you were and who you're working to become.

That will require telling yourself the hard truths today so you don't hate yourself tomorrow.

That's what it means to love yourself.

Everything else is just a coping mechanism and tolerance for a version of yourself you will never truly love.

It's never too late to start loving yourself the right way.

Start now.
