      “Giving yourself the gift of a year has a magical impact on your life because it restores the natural, necessary balance between giving to yourself and giving to others.

      Mira Kirshenbaum, The Gift of a Year (Page 10)

        “It is only when you have mastered the art of loving yourself that you can truly love others.  It’s only when you have opened your own heart that you can touch the hearts of others.  When you feel centered and alive, you are in a much better position to be a better person.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

          “Self-mastery and the consistent care of one’s mind, body, and soul are essential to finding one’s highest self and living the life of one’s dreams.  How can you care for others if you cannot even care for yourself?  How can you do good if you don’t even feel good?  I can’t love you if I cannot love myself.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
