Learning to love yourself is really a process of learning to trust this benevolence.}} {{There is beauty and strength in your animated spirit that defies death with each supporting breath.}} Even if you don't think you love yourself — you do. You live! You struggle! You move towards warmth and support. You have a tremendous will for life! You are moving in life toward a calling that pulls you ever forward. No matter what type of problems and dis-harmonies you have in life, there is a great benevolent force of goodness encouraging your journey. Don't be hobbled by the petty dramas of the world, or by comparison and illusions of inadequacy and insignificance. {{Never doubt the treasure of your matchless life. What is unique has no comparison. Be so loving to yourself.}} Allow the tender benevolence within you to be ever so generous and kind with your self appraisals. {{Self-kindness can be applied to your inner-relationship, like salve to the insecurities that arise within you.}} {{You have a great and innate ability to express love and kindness inward in a way that nurtures your own insecurities.}} You can chose to be merciful to yourself. You can begin with one simple acknowledgement of gratitude. Start with one kind thought about yourself this moment. **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
