"I treat myself as if I am someone who is deeply loved.

All kinds of events come and go; yet, through it all, my love for myself is constant.

This is not being vain or conceited. People who are vain or conceited have a lot of self-hatred covered over by a layer of "I'm better than you". 

Self-love is simply appreciating the miracle of my own being.

When I really love myself, I cannot hurt myself, and I cannot hurt another person.

To me, the answer to world peace is unconditional love. It begins with self-acceptance and self-love.

I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love myself.

I accept myself exactly as I am, right here and now".
