In fact, sometimes the pureness of youth can help us grasp ideas many of us spend a lifetime wrestling to understand. A video of a three-year-old girl being interviewed by her father has resurfaced recently on social media. In 50 seconds flat, she sums up the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/students-at-boys-school-daily-affirmations\" target=\"_blank\">self-love<\/a> so beautifully and simply and is bringing true joy to many who watch.<\/p><p>Conor T.
