The biggest struggle in life is the struggle to know, embrace, and accept ourselves with all of our faults and imperfections... Let us learn to love ourselves so we can be more open and compassionate to others, and so we can take down the walls that limit who we can be and what we can contribute.
— Melanie Greenberg (The 50 Best Quotes on Self-Love, Psychology Today)
Said another way...
My willingness to be intimate with my own deep feelings creates the space for intimacy with another.
— Shakti Gawain (New Age and personal development author, whose books have sold over 10 million copies. Gawain is best known for her book Creative Visualization: Use The Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Life, which has been a bestselling book for nearly 40 years).
My favourite therapist says we need to feel what we’re feeling, without rejecting the darker emotions. He says the non-happy feelings are where the most important information and opportunity for self-guidance is. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.
Blessings,
