The point of power is always in the present moment.

We are each responsible for all of our experiences.

If we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.

The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

In my life there is an infinite supply of love, it is in exhaustible, I can never use it all in this lifetime so I don’t have to be sparing with it!
