Self-love and self-esteem are closely bonded to each other. When you don’t believe in your abilities, your value or your worth, your mind cannot respond in the opposite way.

When it comes to purpose, I believe we all have something unique and individual to contribute to the world. How you impact the lives of others and leave a legacy […]
