“ We need to give up one of our most cherished beliefs — that there is something wrong with us, that we are bad, inadequate, somehow defective and lacking in goodness. Disciplining ourselves, rejecting ourselves, beating ourselves, leads us farther away from this goodness, not closer to it...

If I have an idea about how I should be (more compassionate, for example), and I go through the process of rejecting myself every time I don’t meet this standard, I will never find that compassion,” the Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzberg writes. One kind of emotional process cannot possibly produce another kind of emotional process. Rejection will not lead to compassion. Only compassion can lead to compassion. Rejection will only lead to rejection."

EMORINE Petit mot d’amour

Pic is cute - I like the quote, though. Self love is important.

Love it and Love it!



By the way, how long have you been posting these? I really enjoy them  

Quoting MyPurrrtyBabies:" Love it and Love it! By the way, how long have you been posting these? I really enjoy them  "

I've been doing it for about a year and a half. I took a break over the summer though.
