Do more than just accept yourself, tolerate yourself, put up with yourself, endure who you are. Love yourself.
To live in a magical way, one in which you connect with the universe, loving yourself isn't optional. It comes first. To hear the quiet voice of your heart so you know when you're being led, to hear your thoughts so you can see what you really believe, to trust and open your heart, you must first experience love for yourself. Have you abandoned yourself? Let yourself see if that's true, feel if that's true. Then learn to experience love for yourself. Learn to love the way you handle things. Love your unique way of learning, growing, and seeing things. Love where you've been. Love what you've done. Love where you are, and what you are doing now. Love how you look, smell, and feel. Love the color of your eyes, the color of your hair, and the radiance in your heart. Love how you laugh. Love how you cry. Love your mistakes, and love all the good you've done. Love it all. Love all of you.
Step into love for yourself, and the universe will reflect that love back to you.
Melody Beattie

" We take any situation that we are in - it could be a relationship; it could be a family or it could be a work place. And, we recognize that our purpose for being in the situation is that we might be used by God to work miracles. "
Marianne Williamson

Our choices affect our mood and the way we feel about ourselves. They influence the quality of our relationships with ourselves, others and the world. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; this is the law of cause and effect. No action goes unnoticed. But all of our choices impact our futures. When we ask the right questions and make the right choices we feed our life force.
THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future or will it keep me stuck in the past?
Will this choice bring me long-term fulfillment or will it bring me short-term gratification?
Am I standing in my power or am I trying to please another?
Am I looking for what’s right or am I looking for what’s wrong?
Will this choice add to my life force or will it rob me of my energy?
Will I use this situation as a catalyst to grow and evolve or will I use it to beat myself up?
Does this choice empower me or does it disempower me?
It’s really quite simple: if we want our lives to be different, all we have to do is make different choices.
Debbie Ford

It is time for us to look at the things we say we want out of life and then see what beliefs and thoughts we harbor that are keeping those things away from us. We are powerful beings. The power of our mind is awesome. We can learn
to harness that power and have it work for us rather than against us. All it takes is our taking the time to pay attention to what we REALLY think and focus on changing those thoughts to supportive ones.
Marie T. Russell


"What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us."
Julia Cameron


"At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance."
