All love begins with self-love, and with this comes a sense of self-worth and respect for self. It is by coming from a place of love that one can act with compassion and one’s motives are pure.
Strength of character determines who you become. It means having the strength to walk unbowed and be in alignment with your personal sense of what is right, having the strength to stand alone or to say no when others are saying yes.
It takes courage to be who you are instead of trying to fit in. It also takes courage to walk a path you’ve never walked before. Courage is the first step towards success of any kind.
Freedom lies in using your voice. With freedom comes the responsibility to speak for those whose voices have been silenced. With freedom comes the opportunity to create change in our world.
When we take away the borders and boundaries that separate us, we are all global citizens of our world. It is in creating positive change for our world that we create positive change for ourselves.
