I cannot stress enough, how important it is to be kind to yourself. Learn to be patient with yourself. Forgive yourself every day because you need your forgiveness. You need to give yourself the gift of forgiveness for every mistake, every failure, and every loss.
Be kind to yourself because only then, can you be kind to others.

Be Kind
Because, what good comes from not being kind? None.
