Quote from Sharon Salzberg, The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Programme for Real Happiness

If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change.

We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.

Quote from Sharon Salzberg

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
