Not by pointing out the bad side of your personality but by accepting the dignity and worth of your personality.

2. Approval. Goes far beyond Acceptance, which tolerates your faults. Approval loves you irregardless of your faults. Seek out things in others you approve of and watch that person grow before your eyes.
