Jennifer Lopez: `I`ve learned to stand on my own two feet`

The mother-of-two, who separated from husband Marc Anthony after seven years of marriage in July, said she finally feels strong enough to be self-sufficient.

“I think I’ve learned in the past year or two is that I can stand on my own two feet, and to give myself credit for that,” she told Access Hollywood.

“To really give myself a little bit of love, instead of always beating myself up for what I didn’t do or how I could have done something better or what else I’m going to do next.

“Just take a minute and a beat to appreciate the things that I have accomplished. That’s something that I have to work on, but I’m working on it. I’m getting better at it, I think.”

And she is hoping to pass on these lessons to her daughter Emme, three, and her twin brother and Max.

“That’s the one thing I want to teach my daughter – to love herself and to feel good all on her own, no matter what happens,” she said.

“I just want to teach [my kids] to be great people, to love themselves, to love others, to treat others with respect and kindness, to know that they’re in a privileged position, and to be charitable and work hard… just because you have success doesn’t mean that you stop doing those things.”
