“To accept others as they are, we must begin with ourselves. If we cannot accept ourselves as we are, we will never be able to accept others. When I look at myself, I see positive, admirable and even remarkable things, but I also know that there are negative parts of me. So first I recognize and accept myself.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear
Love Yourself Quotes
“You are special, and there is no need to want to be special. You are special, you are unique—existence never creates anything less than that. Everyone is unique, utterly unique. There has been no person like you before, and there will never be a person like you again. Consciousness has taken this form for the first time and the last time, so there is no need to try to become special: you already are. If you are trying to be special, you will become ordinary. Your very effort is rooted in misunderstanding. It will create confusion because when you try to become special, you have taken one thing for grated—that you are not special. You have become ordinary already. You have missed the point.” ~ Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition
“If your opinion of yourself means more to you than other’s opinions of you, you won’t feel the degradation if someone disagrees.” ~ Matt Karamazov, High Existence
