Choosing self-love is the ultimate act of mastery, the ultimate.  For when you choose this, every other area that you may have studied, looked into, will come. That is why it is such a big step for so many people to truly commit to this.

In self-love you give yourself freedom to do everything.  You love yourself so much that you allow yourself to make huge mistakes.  You love yourself so much that you will forgive yourself anything.  You trust your love of yourself so much that you trust that whatever situation you end up in; and provided you feel your way through it rather than think your way through it, you will come back to center.  You will come back to the place that you need and want to be.   –  Lee Harris
