A little self-love goes a loooooong way...

No matter what you think about yourself but you are always complete, pure & beautiful from within. - Adeep

May we stop seeing ourselves through the eyes of people who never saw us. - Shane Steele

We are much too hard on ourselves. Really we are. We beat ourselves up, we " shuld" on ourselves, we compare ourselves to others, we postpone self- love until we reach a stage of perfection that is impossibly unrealistic. We are so hard on ourselves, but how are we to know better? It's not like there is a book that lays it all down. It's not like we downloaded perfection. We are still writing that book, writing it with the blood of lessons learned, writing it with ink that is forged in the fires of transformation. We are learning as we g(r)o(w). So let's give ourselves a break. Often. Kindly. Gently. Really. It's a huge thing to grow beyong the parameters of our familiar ways of being. Berating ourselves won't get us anywhere. A little self-love goes a long way.. - Jeff Brown, Love It Forward
