“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection” BUDDHA 

No one is harder on us than we are on ourselves. We see only our physical flaws when we look in the mirror. We remember only our mistakes when we look back on the day we’ve just spent. We sometimes beat ourselves up even when we’ve done nothing wrong. And yet, others like us. Some even love us. What do they see in us that we don’t? It’s good to be honest with ourselves, but we also should be kind. We can give more love and affection to others if we start with love and affection for ourselves.
