“To be beautiful means to be yourself.
You don’t need to be accepted by others.
You need to accept yourself.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh
The most important decision of your life,
the one that will affect every other decision you make,
is the commitment to
love and accept yourself.
It directly affects the quality of your relationships,
your work,
your free time,
your faith,
and your future.
Why, then, is this so difficult to do?
Feeling worthy requires you to see yourself
with fresh eyes
of self-awareness and love.
Acceptance and love must come from within.
You don’t have to be different to be worthy.
Your worth is in your true nature,
a core of love and inner goodness.
You are a beautiful light.
You are love.
We can bury our magnificence,
but it’s impossible to destroy.
Loving ourselves isn’t a one time event.
It’s an endless, ongoing process.
It begins with you,
enfolding yourself
in your own affection and appreciation.
