From the song 'Love Lead The Way' by Mariah Carey:

Suddenly you are lying here with me,
And the truths I used to hold have changed.
And if I move closer,
And let it take over,
Then love will lead the way.

Love is associated with happiness. This is probably because the one who loves you accepts you for who you are, praises you, and helps you heal.

From 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams:

Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don’t waste your time,
Here’s why,
Because I’m happy
...
Can't nothing bring me down,
My level's too high.

“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“It's definitely difficult being a woman and growing up a girl. When you're graceful, people say you lack personality; when you're serene, people say you're boring; when you're confident, people say you're arrogant; when you're feminine, people say you're too girly; and when you climb trees, people say you're too much of a tomboy! As a woman, you really need to develop a very strong sense of self and the earlier you can do that, the better! You have to be all the things that you are, without allowing other people's ignorance to change you! I realized that they don't know what grace is, they can't identify serenity, they have inferiority complexes, they are incapable of being feminine, and they don't know how to climb trees!”
― C. JoyBell C.

You should like who you are (love yourself) so are not lead astray by the constant, negative opinions of others banging for attention. But be aware that you are not perfect and there are areas for improvement.
