#self-love

"Your personal truth is your gift to the world."

"I want you to trust yourself, baby. Love is all that matters and you’ve always known that. You’ve known, since you were a very little girl, what your life is meant to be about…"

"The lesson will always repeat itself, unless you see yourself as the problem--not others."

"An empowered heart is one filled with self love."

"People who love themselves come across as very loving, generous and kind; they express their self-confidence through humility, forgiveness and inclusiveness."

"Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back."

"YOU are your own guru. YOU are your own soul mate. YOU are powerful. Take the reigns and drive your carriage home to love."

"Does our purpose on Earth directly link to the people whom we end up meeting? Are our relationships and experiences actually the required dots that connect and then lead us to our ultimate destinies?"

"When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in."

"If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU."

"The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself."

"I love him in ways that I can’t explain to other people. They don’t understand… it’s not their fault."

"Sometimes being happy takes effort. Invest time and energy in yourself and your happiness."

"The goal is to learn to be nurturing with yourself so you can feel free."

"Unreturned love is like trying to make a sandwich with one slice of bread. Don’t stress—fold it in half and love yourself."

"If you don't love yourself, you won't be happy with yourself. If you can't love yourself, you can't love anyone else. You can't give the love you do not have. You can't make anyone love you without loving yourself first."

"For so many years, I couldn’t understand why every time I thought that someone finally loved me, like… for real, they would eventually turn to vapor. Every person whom I’ve ever loved is trapped inside of my chest. I’ve breathed all of them in so deeply that I’ve nearly choked and died on every soul that I’ve ever given myself to."

"Accomplishments don’t erase shame, hatred, cruelty, silence, ignorance, discrimination, low self-esteem or immorality. It covers it up, with a creative version of pride and ego. Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past."

"Being present to yourself in love and with kindness is the ultimate gift."

"Be one with yourself and revel in eternal bliss."
