"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."
"Have the courage to love yourself like you always wished someone would."
"Love yourself. That kind of love can get you through anything."
"Isn't it time to start giving yourself the great gift of your own love?"
"In my experience, it is always worth it to find the love that lives inside you. No matter how deep you have to dig sometimes."
"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."
"The journey to loving ourselves doesn't mean we like everything."
"You want to be loved? Love yourself first and passionately. Forgive yourself readily. Care for every part of you. Only when you love yourself do you have love to give to others."
"Become your own best friend-smile and say "I love you to yourself occasionally."
