Working on it

My name is Jense.
I'm working on it.
On what exactly? Everything.
Being a better singer. Being a better pianist. Writing life changing lyrics. Being charitable. Being a better friend. Loving myself.
I had an epiphany today. Actually, it's nothing new. In fact, it's from one of the greatest movies ever.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn,
Is just to love,
And be loved in return."

But I put a little twist on it.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn,
Is to love yourself,
And let others love you."

Sure, it doesn't rhyme. Rhyming was never my strong suit.
But the meaning is what's important.
Before you can let others love you, you gotta love yourself.
You gotta love you. You.
So, what does this epiphany gotta do with my "working on it" statement? Everything.
How can I become a better singer if I don't already love that I can sing? (At least, that's what I'd like to think.) How can I become a better pianist if I don't already love that I can play anything that I want? How can I write life changing lyrics if I don't love how I write it already? How can I be a better friend and charitable if I don't already love myself?
But most importantly, how can I love others, if I don't already love myself?
I'm not gonna say it's impossible, cuz it is.
It's just a whole heck of a lot harder to do so.
I'm working on it.
I'm working on loving.
