Janet Jackson shows why it's important to love yourself Jackson did not always like who she saw in the mirror but time brought wisdom and love / David Fisher/Shutterstock (10543684h) For some, self-love can seem like a simple concept. But for others, it's easy to let criticisms snowball into cycles of doubt and disdain. Janet Jackson, looking so radiant and confident at the Great Gatsby Gala, faced that hardship herself in the past. "I had to find something in my body that I loved, and that was difficult for me to do," she admitted. "At first, I couldn’t find anything. I would look in the mirror and start crying. I didn’t like that I was not attractive. I didn’t like anything about me." Fortunately, Closer Weekly further reports, time helped Jackson through this journey to acceptance and love. After being unsure of her body, she now loves who she is inside and out. A lot of that has to do with the wisdom that comes simply by living, the singer pointed out. "A lot of it has to do with experience, getting older. Understanding, realizing that there isn’t just one thing that is considered beautiful. Beautiful comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors," she explained. "It’s vulnerability. It’s power. It’s confidence. It’s happiness. It’s seeing the goodness in the soul. It’s spirituality. It’s being selfless and what you do for others before doing for yourself." Through these sentiments, she brings happiness to herself and others.
