Love yourself

"It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others."

-- Sydney J. Harris

"We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves.

The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal.

Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are."

-- Don Miguel Ruiz

CHANGE

"I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change."
-- Jim Rohn

"Slowness to change usually means fear of the new."
-- Philip Crosby

“Just as the tumultuous chaos of a thunderstorm brings a nurturing rain that allows life to flourish, so too in human affairs times of advancement are preceded by times of disorder. Success comes to those who can weather the storm.”
-- I Ching No. 3

“If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself.”
-- Norman Vincent Peale

``one thing after the other ``

Sometimes looks like "one thing after the other,"
but really, it is Blessing After Blessing.

I know, I know...you don't experience it that way. But
that's because you don't see it that way. In this business
of life, "What you see is what you get."

If you think you are looking at struggle,

struggle is what
you will experience.

If you decide that you are looking
at a gift (even if you can't see it clearing in this exact
moment), a gift is what you will get.

Just wait.

You'll
see. I mean that literally.

You will see.

THE GOODNESS...

The goodness in your life does not come to you
from someone else.

When you see this, you will be free.

There is no reason and no need to "play up" to another,
or to try to remain in their good graces.
Remain in your
own, by not betraying yourself. Simply speak your truth,
with gentleness and love.

And have courage, for what you seek is not outside of
you.
It is not a gift from another person. It is yours -- to
give, not to acquire.
Let no one, therefore, hold you
hostage.
Not your partner, not your boss, not your
family...
