We cannot force a flower to bloom. We can only gently nourish it with the sunlight and water it needs. In the same way, we cannot force our feelings to change. We can only gently nourish our feelings with self love, and tender care, and through doing this, they will unfold into a great relief and inner peace.

Be an Encourager. The world has plenty of critics already.
Two fundamental questions that many people ponder are “What should I do when life is hard?” and “What should I do when I feel lonely?” The simple answer can come when you take a close, sincere look at yourself and your life. To understand the nature of these questions, ask yourself if you’ve ever felt love for yourself? If you love who you are? The existence of love is in these questions. Most unhappy people don’t love themselves for the person they are in the present moment, and might not love themselves in the future. So first to overcome struggles when life is hard or when you feel lonely, you have to love yourself. You have to live with unconditional love for yourself and spread it.
