You were programmed to deliver a message, and the creation of that message is your greatest art. What is the message? Your life.

When we respect ourselves, our lives change because the conflict in our mind ends. Then the relationship with our beloved also changes, and there will be peace in our family, in our friendships, in our community, and so on. Just imagine what kind of planet this would be if everybody respected themselves and everybody else?

We don't need to justify love; it is there or not there. Real love is accepting other people the way they are without trying to change them.

The word is a force you cannot see, but you can see the manifestation of that force, the expression of the word, which is your own life.

...What you are is a force--a force that makes it possible for your body to live, a force that makes it possible for your whole mind to dream...You are life

Perhaps you're not finished with your story, and who knows if you'll ever finish it or not. Honestly, it's not that important.

If I love myself I will express that love in my interactions with you, and then I am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction. If I love you, then you will love me. If I insult you, you will insult me. If I have gratitude for you , you will have gratitude for me. If I'm selfish with you, you will be selfish with me.
