Most of you have been hard on yourselves for a long time.
It doesn’t matter who the object of your attention is when you are loving.
When you love, you are in the vortex.
So find a child and love them, and in the vortex you’ll go. Find a dog and love him, and into the vortex you’ll go. Find a flower and appreciate it, and into the vortex you’ll go.
And once you have shown yourself what a loer you can be, then you can begin turning that lens of love toward yourself.
