You have to take me for me. I am who I am.
If I must be faithful to someone or something, I first of all have to be faithful to myself.
The way you give your name to others is a measure of how much you like and respect yourself.
When you're at peace with yourself and love your self, it is virtually impossible to do things to yourself that are destructive.
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
It is only when you have mastered the art of loving yourself that you can truly love others. It's only when you have opened your own heart that you can touch the hearts of others. When you feel centered and alive, you are in much better position to be a better person.
If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.
Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not “in love”, one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.
We are divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy.
Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
Happy Valentines Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don’t give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it.
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.
Trust who and what you are, and the universe will support you in miraculous ways.
Do what is healing to your spirit and without effort you will bring the world healing in return.
To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don’t wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now.
It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
