We have to look at ourselves and understand everything that makes us who we are before we can honestly approach understanding someone else. It only makes us stronger when we take the time to evaluate our traits, habits and characteristics. By doing so we can look at what we need to improve and what we can strengthen, we learn not to be hard on ourselves, and most importantly to be patient with ourselves. When we learn and practice these methods of self discovery we can feel more at ease knowing that we understand who we are, and then we can take the time to help others achieve the same end.
