I love me, like I am, there is nothing which I have to change. I am beautiful and capable, to be the perfect me. I love you, like you are, there is nothing, you have to do. If I feel the love in me, it is simply to love you it. I see your shining star behind your fears, your despair and your tears. And I love you like you are! I love the world, like it is and I can clearly recognize, all the things which I condemn are done to by people like me. Only love can bring the world to a higher state. And I can help by loving everything. I love me, I like me am and want nevertheless to grow. The change on the outside only come if I know deeply in me: I am beautifully and capably the perfect to be me. So I love myself like I am.
Perfectionism is the striving for perfection where you will never reach it: In the outer. Even if you make some progress, you will calculate your expectations more highly and be disappointed inevitably so. If you search however inside, by accepting yourself completely with your faults, you can very well reach perfection.
As long as we condemn us for our faults and weaknesses, we rob ourselves of the possibility to change. Because our negative view of ourselves produces inevitably negative behaviours. Self realisation can prosper only on the base of self-esteem: "I am as I am but I don't have to remain like this".
Unlike the knowledge wisdom cannot exist without humility.
Just the fullness can create, without the arising of a loss. If you do something for others with the wish on service in return, then your actions arise from the feeling of the loss. If no service in return then comes, then you experience an emptiness. If you do it however out of the helping will, it will always enriching you.
If we deny our own negative qualities, we will come a cropper about this again and again because we aren't aware of them.
