"Self-respect is often mistaken for arrogance

when in reality it is the opposite.

When we can recognize all our good qualities

as well as or faults with neutrality,

we can start to appreciate ourselves

as we would a dear friend

and experience the comfortable inner glow of respect.

To embrace the journey towards our full potential

we need to become our own loving teacher and coach.

Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,

we develop true regard for ourselves,

and our life will become sacred."

~Osho

"Each human being, however small or weak, has something to bring to humanity. As we start to really get to know others, as we begin to listen to each other’s stories, things begin to change. We begin the movement from exclusion to inclusion, from fear to trust, from closedness to openness, from judgment and prejudice to forgiveness and understanding. It is a movement of the heart."

~Jean Vanier

“When you live your life seeking the opinion and approval of others, you become a slave in your mind and soul to others. This is the worst form of slavery.”

"Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism, and philosophy, and for the one who has learned this, love fulfills the purpose of religion, ethics, and philosophy, and the lover is raised above all diversities of faiths and beliefs."
