I'm finally understanding 

what it is to respect oneself 

and then to love oneself...

UNCONDITIONALLY 

for WHAT I AM 

instead of what I can do. 

I'm finding without respect 

there can be no love, 

for respect is the 

very foundation of love.

Be content with what you have;

rejoice in the way things are.

When you realize there is 

nothing lacking, the whole 

world belongs to you.

Learn to

Honestly Love Oneself, 

for it's the 

measure of one's true 

capacity to love 

another.
