Imagine you were to love yourself just as you are – with all these human flaws. Every human has imperfections; this is part of human incarnation. Your task is to see them clearly and love anyway. Now become the loving awareness that can witness and hold your life with its successes and imperfections in a sea of love. Love yourself. This is the essence. Then take your very human imperfections and make beauty anyway. - Jack Kornfield, "No Time Like the Present"

What if you could love yourself fully, including your imperfections? What if you could love others in the same way? With mindfulness you can become the love you have sought. And with this love you are also returned to yourself. - Jack Kornfield

Please love yourself instead fo loving the idea of other people loving you. - unknown
