Love and belong will always be uncertain...We can only love others as much as we love ourselves...True belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance...Practicing self-love means learning how to trust ourselves, to treat ourselves with respect, and to be kind and affectionate toward ourselves...We can only belong when we offer our most authentic selves and when we're embraced for who we are..cultivating self-love and self-acceptance is not optional. They're priorities...Certainly, the people we love inspire us to heights of love and compassion that we might have never achieved otherwise, but to really scale those heights, we often have to go to the depths of who we are, and figure out our own stuff in order to love them better. We love others fiercely, maybe more than we think we love ourselves, but that fierce love should drive us to the depths of our selves so that we learn to be compassionate with ourselves... Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage. 引自 Exploring the Power of Love...
