"It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship"

The quote suggests that it is necessary to have a positive self-image and self-esteem due to the fact that you invest a great deal of time with yourself. If you like yourself, your relationship with yourself will be more fulfilling and satisfying. For this reason, it is much better to focus on establishing a good self-relationship than struggling with negative self-image.
