Nothing destroys self-worth, self-acceptance and self-love…

“Nothing destroys self-worth, self-acceptance and self-love faster than denying what you feel. Without feelings, you would not know where you are in life. Nor would you know what areas you need to work on. Honor your feelings. Allow yourself to feel them.” quote by Iyanla Vanzant
