It feels like ages to write down a book review and I’ve genuinely missed this. For last few days I was not regular with my reading but I recently read this book which is being so hyped on Instagram. I got to know about this book from there only, I saw some inspiring quotes from the book which I really liked and then I started following Vex King on Instagram and he posts so many inspiring things there and that’s how I’ve got this book. Self help book is my jam and I can never get tired of reading it. If I have to describe this book in three words, which are Simple, Relatable and Effective.

The content of the book is raw and real.

And self love is the only way to help yourself. Accepting your flaws and working on it everyday to be better person from yesterday will create good life. This book will tell you how to do this.
Quoting some of my favorite lines from the book.
“Self love is the balance between accepting yourself as you are while knowing you deserve better, and then working towards it.”
“We are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which pick up and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.”
“Your emotions show a true reflection of your energy.”
“It’s not selfish and sign of weakness to distance yourself or walk away from those who constantly bring down your vibe. Life is about balance. It’s about spreading kindness, but it’s also about not letting anyone take that kindness away from you.”
“You’ll know it’s your gut when you have a sense of almost knowing you’ve arrived at the answer without a reasoning process.”
“To recognize love in spite of criticism, you have to understand that everyone’s perspective, including your own, is limited and subjective.”
“If you don’t prove that you’re serious about what you want to do, you can’t expect other people to be serious about it either.”
“You won’t be important to other people all the time, and that’s why you have to be important to yourself. Learn to enjoy your own company. Take care of yourself. Encourage positive self-talk and become your own support system. your needs matter, so start meeting them yourself. Don’t rely on others.”
“Someone once said that a tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep.”
“If you’re unsure about what you want, you’ll end up with a lot of things you’re unsure of.”
“Intention without action is just a wish. A goal only comes to life when you decide to pursue it. The universe is always supporting you, but you must be willing to do your part in the manifestation process.”
“Life doesn’t battle you because you’re weak, it battles you because you’re strong. It knows that if it gives you pain, you’ll realize your power.”
“The next time you pray for your situation to change, realize that you’re in that situation so that you can change.”
