But first, Self love

True Reflections supporter and active volunteer, Shelby Allard from Think Outside the Box Life talks about accepting flaws, finding inner strength and ultimately loving yourself.

As Mastin Kipp said in his article 'Why it's important to love yourself':

"Self-love that is not extended to other people and given away isn’t self-love. The flow of love and self-love is a giving and a receiving.Why it’s important to start with self-love though is because ultimately we are the ones responsible for our actions, choices and the outcome of those actions and choices. We cannot give to someone else what we don’t have and likewise we cannot get from someone else what he or she doesn’t have.Self-love is important because it is remembering where our power is. First we welcome in the Love of The Uni-verse. Then we give more of that Love to ourselves. As we begin to be filled with this Love, we then pour it on to others in our lives ...When we are in self-love, we also have boundaries and learn how to say no. It’s a balance that is learned over time."
