A note from Joyce Persily

Learning to love your self takes patience, understanding and acceptance of what is.

When a child is learning to walk and falls down or speaks in a language all his own, we don't laugh or mock the child or make him feel bad. We cheer him on, understanding that the child is growing and learning new skills.

As adults, we are all striving to master the skills needed to achieve happiness and fulfillment, and therefore deserve the same patience and understanding that we would give to a child. As Whitney Houston sang, "Learning to love yourself is the greatest gift of all."

We are admonished not to be too loud and rambunctious, punished for not getting better grades, and compared to our siblings. Parents are often ill-trained in child-rearing and make the error of telling us "you're a bad boy," criticizing who we are rather than the action itself.
