Love yourself right now and forgive yourself for whatever you feel down on yourself about.

I think this is a very good answer. Its hard seeing through the negativity of depression and if you've been down very long, its that much harder to make that first step and even when we do, even a minor setback can make us feel like nothing will ever work. I think the most successful people are succesful not because they know more or are luckier, but simply because they dont give up and continue to try.
