“In these bodies, we will live. In these bodies, we will die. And where you invest your love, you invest your life.” – Mumford & Sons. This line is one of the most potent lyrics the band has ever written, inspiring this podcast episode on self love.
I believe this quote is about self-love and finding out about yourself and who you are. When we learn to love ourselves, we also express love to others more powerfully and intentionally. You can alter the way you see things, and it is your self-love that helps you become the best version of yourself.

No great feat is achieved without adopting certain positive habits. Similarly, self love also demands the development of such practices that encourage it.
