Meaning of the quote

It's really hard to be kind and understanding towards yourself. We often judge ourselves too harshly and criticize ourselves more than anyone else. But this can make it difficult to feel good about ourselves and reach our full potential. The key is to try to be as patient and forgiving with yourself as you would be with a good friend.
