Self-love Quotes

Quotes have a strange power to change people’s perceptions and even lives. I believe we’ve all experienced at least one moment in our lives in which a phrase said by someone or read somewhere made us pause and think about it for a long time, even after the moment passed.

I gathered in this post 47 of the quotes I have collected over the years, which shaped me in different ways, at different moments in life. Hope they will inspire you to get closer to yourself, to others and unleash your authentic voice.

 

 

Compassion Quotes

Compassion comes from the Latin word “compati” which means “to suffer with”. So it is more than mere empathy and care. It is the desire to help someone who is suffering and to be able to help that person ease their pain.

Some thoughts

I hope these quotes resonated with you and helped you refocus your attention on things that really matter in this world—not treating yourself as a victim, loving yourself and being compassionate with all the creatures and people who come into your way. 

We all walk difficult paths in our lives, so why not help and lift each other rather than judge and push apart from one another?

I have to say, my heart, my soul, my whole being is longing to see acts of kindness and compassion spread around the world like the wind. 

There is a need for this. I know this is true for all of us. We gather too much suffering in our hearts, and loving ourselves is the only remedy for this. It is the hardest and yet the most transformative thing we can do. We all have access to it and it all starts with compassion. Compassion for our struggles, our wounds, for ourselves. The only ones we can truly change in this life are ourselves and no one else. 

For me, loving myself is the hardest and challenging thing I’m experimenting within this life. I still judge, compare, ignore and blame myself. But, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, I am learning to soften up, not let my fears run me, and be kinder and more compassionate towards myself, my mistakes, and my failures.

No one taught us how to love ourselves, so we need to teach ourselves how to love ourselves. Nothing in this world is truly accomplished and complete if it’s not out of the love we have for ourselves. Because how can we love and give others something that we don’t offer ourselves first? 

Thank you, Jordan Rakei – Family — for inspiring me to write these words.

 

Remember to love yourself,
