As you start loving and accepting yourself where you are now, with all your imperfections, you will begin to feel a shift happening within. The hole that has existed inside your heart begins to be filled as you understand and acknowledge that you are lovable and unique and divine. When you treat yourself with love, you become powerful and at peace – powerful because loving and approving of yourself means that you are not dependent upon the love and approval of others. When you fill yourself with love, you feel at peace with yourself once the constant attack of your own inner critic has ceased.

Once you stop hurting yourself with your thoughts and old beliefs and past pains and rejections, you will begin to heal and begin to trust in your own worth. Love begins within. Love is created by a desire to love and an intention to allow it and a belief that you deserve it.
