Break the thought of "okay about myself" into smaller pieces, then begin with being okay about yourself as a human being with needs, desires, ambitions and so on. Then work at being okay with the fact that some of us are more needy than others...

...and then somewhere along the way and within all of that, work at being okay with the fact that no two people are ever identical and we can each only "run whatcha brung" to the human race anyway.

The Tin Man thought he was heartless, the Lion appeared lacking in courage and the Scarecrow seemed to have no brain...and yet each still kept moving on along and ultimately discovered much worth in the lives and hearts of others.
