I had a short document that was about this "love yourself" (can't post a link to the short PDF consisting of 20 pages until 10 posts, sorry, but will update this post then), no idea where I got it from though. Maybe loving yourself is about accepting yourself or coming to terms with the way you are and then moving on with that idea. Because if you constantly keep rejecting yourself, then you won't have much life in the end (I'm a great example for that). That's what happens when you push life away from you.

It's funny that I know how could I improve my life, but still majestically fail at it. I just keep behaving weird and secluded in my own (fantasy) worlds, but oh well...It's never too late to change, though...

In its shortest, the meaning of your life is to make your life meaningful. To make yourself something important: to be able to influence others and to leave your own legacy for others to remember you by. You know this when you help out someone that may be of trivial matter to you, but who knows if it won't be a life-altering experience for that person?

As for books, Alan Tutt: Choose To Believe is the one what I've read, which may help a lot with those damned beliefs. It tells you about how powerful beliefs really are, also how to change them. In general, it helps to improve your life and yourself...At least, it should, provided you give it a chance.

But no amount of theory or advice can help if you don't make the first step/small improvement on your own. Others told me something similar to "get courage and step out of your comfort zone or bubble". As someone said it to me once, if you knock down your own barriers (that limit you from tapping your potential), it becomes that much more easier to alter yourself in the positive way.

I'm currently suffering in this too since some time, so might write about this topic soon: "how to forgive yourself". I'll try when I have the energy and mood.
