"To begin to know ourselves we must have sincere conversations with ourselves as if with a good friend. We must answer without reserve, listen without judgement, and accept without condition. That is self-love."
"It takes a really long time to realize this, but if you're lucky you eventually see that you've got this life on this planet and you're responsible for really loving yourself. And I mean really, really, really loving yourself. Love is never a corruption. I'm talking about loving yourself with a true love, a love that's incorruptible and everlasting."
"Intellectually, we may appreciate that loving ourselves would give us a firm foundation but for most of us this is a leap of logic, not a leap of the heart."
"Isn't it time to start giving yourself the great gift of your own love?"
"One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn't it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim "You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself" made clear sense. And I add, "Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself."
"Self-love is not the process of ignoring your flaws. Self-love is expanding your awareness to include your flaws and your strengths."
"Stop hating yourself for the things you have not and start loving yourself for the things that you have."
"Loving yourself is of vital importance. Because there is no way you'll love another soul if you fail to have self love. Embrace your beautiful spirit and shine light for those who may be living in the dark. You are human and your heart is designed to love and live. You can not be open to love if you're not loving yourself."
"My job, my only job here in this moment, is to love myself and, by extension, to love others. My job is just to live and to realize that to live is to love."

"Any time we find ourselves relying on the ideas of an absolute, frozen state of right and wrong-or fairness versus unfairness-that we are used to, we can compare the habit to distraction during meditation."
