When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.

Selfish is caring for ourselves at others' expense ... Self-care is taking care of ourselves so that we can be there for others.

The journey of life is both too short and too precious to be sidetracked by guilt trips.
