Love of Self

"All ability to love begins with and is conditioned by one's ability to love oneself. If we are to love others and to love life itself, we must have a true love for ourselves, a healthy self-image, a sense of self appreciation." - John Powell, SJ

Some of us were taught that it is wrong to love ourselves. This was a serious mistake made by parents in previous generations. They did not understand the proper relationship between love of self and love of others. John Powell, a Jesuit scholar with degrees in theology and psychology, understands the proper relationship between love of others and love of self.

Choose the way you think

"One of the most significant findings in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can choose the way they think." - Martin Seligman.

This is truly inspiring. By choosing the way we think and not just choosing what we think about, we can shape our destiny to a larger extent than was previously thought possible.
