approval of others, even when such approvals follow acts of compromise on your
happiness, then you only love yourself conditionally.

When you genuinely love yourself, you
accept yourself for who you are. You accept the fact that there are things
about yourself that cannot be changed, and you come to terms with it. Your
sense of self-esteem will no longer depend on what others think of you, but in
your belief in your ability to take on life with all its challenges.
