"The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique." 

                                                                     ~ Walt Disney  

First of all, may we aim to let go, little by little, more and more, all the false and limiting beliefs about how it is "wrong" or "bad" to love oneself.

How are we to love others if we don't love ourselves? It's healthy and helpful to love ourselves, and to like ourselves too. 

Let's also acknowledge that we are unique, whether or not we like ourselves. Self love helps us to be uniquely ourselves in a confident and expanded way, with courage, gratitude, and joy. From this position of strength, we have much to give to ourselves, others, and the world.

Walt Disney left behind so many powerful quotes and a legacy that demonstrates his convictions. Living in central Florida now, I often go to Disney World. Throughout the grounds there are posting of Walt Disney quotes. Here are a few more for you to consider as touchstones as you go about this day:

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

There's nothing funnier than the human animal.

Today, let's love ourselves... and be willing to laugh at ourselves too.

With love for me and for you, 
Charlene
