“You are the first example of how the world should treat you. If you don’t treat your-self with compassion, forgiveness and kindness, you can’t expect others to. Self love isn’t just about loving yourself. It’s about showing others how you want to be loved. It’s a foundation. Proof that you matter. Everything starts with you, including how you are treated. We must become alone for moments, so utterly alone that we withdraw into our innermost self. Then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that which is of God. Then suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by it; for our innermost soul that we know ourselves to be, are one with all beings, never alone =all truly connected.” XO
