look around today, and it's evident that the world could use a little bit of compassion. Scratch them. Lots of it. Almost everyone you know or run into is living through suffering, self inflicted pain and suffering. Everyone's hurting and hurting badly. And you know what they say. Hurt people hurt people. That may be cliche, but it's the honest truth. Perhaps you can relate to what I'm saying. I'm going to make an assumption that you're reading this because you're tired. You're tired of beating yourself up. You're tired of blaming yourself for things you know logically weren't even your fault. You are sick of that nagging little voice in your head. You know the one. It tells you you're not good enough. Not pretty enough. Not smart enough. You're bombarded day in, day out with vitriol from that mean little voice in your head. Constantly, you doubt yourself. You think you're worth nothing, even when you're well loved and adored. And when people acknowledge your unique talents and abilities, there's that little voice again, it tells you you are an impostor. It asked you how you would dare to think you deserve to be loved. How dare you assume you're worth a race. What makes you think you deserve a loving relationship? How dare you be happy or even aspire to be happy? I've written this book because I've been there before. This is personal to me. It was and continues to be a tough fight. But I know for a fact that it's possible to overcome that little voice in your head. I'm going to give you the insights and tools that you need in order to be nicer to yourself. You can be kind to yourself, to you deserve it. If you understand immediately that it's good to be kind and compassionate with others, then you should know this. You deserve the same treatment from you. The truth of the matter is that you just can't give what you don't have. You could try, sure, but over time you will be worn down from all the times you've beaten yourself up. I want you to learn that you can actually set firm boundaries for yourself. You can decide now to stop giving into those thoughts, situations and people who calls you to be anything but compassionate to yourself. Self compassion is so important. It's the way you get to grow and expand constantly dwelling and guilt and shame keeps you small. Your life stays the same at best. At worse, you continue on a downward spiral to depression, feelings of worthlessness and suicidal impulses. If you're going to grow in mind and spirit, if you're going to be fulfilled in all the aspects of your life, then you need to learn self compassion. You need to become the Picasso of the art off, going easy on yourself. When you make self compassion a part of your life, then you will find yourself attaining your goals easier. You'll find it easier to make the changes that you know you need. You'll become a more rounded, self actualized person. This is what I desire for you, so let's begin this journey.
