There is no way to genuinely, powerfully, truly love yourself while crafting a mask of perfection.

Being passive is not the same as being peaceful. If you aren't doing what you know, in your heart, you want to do, you are NOT going with the flow. You are going against the flow. Your reactions, emotions, desires, and talents are all part of the flow of life. Ignoring them is passive resistance. Let yourself go.

Taking care of yourself isn’t about trying to become perfect. It’s about realizing and honouring,in every moment, thatyou already are.

Compassion is essential, but it’s not a substitute for self-expression, or self-respect, or self-compassion. Emotional self-care is also essential, but gently soothing our wounds does not replace communicating about them.

You are nature. You are already perfect, peaceful, and powerful. You don’t need to become anything. You simply need to remember yourself.

Your relationship to yourself is and always will be directly reflected in all your relationships with others.

Watch your thoughts, for they will become the words of people you draw to yourself.

If you do not respect your own wishes, no one else will. You will simply attract people who disrespect you as much as you do.

Self-love is not the process of ignoring your flaws. Self-love is expanding your awareness to include your flaws and your strengths.
