I stumbled across this quote on Facebook and fell in love with it. I think it's vital to remember you, just as you naturally are, deserve happiness—despite any imperfections or flaws. Of course it’s important to focus on self-improvement, but I find that any attempts at self-improvement coming from a place of hatred is damaging and ephemeral.  I think I’ll use this as a mantra when I am feeling blue and down on myself.
