“The first thing is to love yourself.
You cannot progress by self doubt and self hatred.
You can only progress by self love.”
~ Dipa Ma
“You can search throughout the entire universe
for someone who is more deserving
of your love and affection than you are yourself,
and that person is not to be found anywhere.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection”
~Buddha

When we are mindful
deeply in touch with the present moment,
our understanding of what is going on deepens,
and we begin to be filled with
acceptance,
joy,
peace,
and
LOVE.
