Self-Kindness

​Kindness toward yourself is an act of befriending. Kindness toward others is an act of altruism. Combine both and you'll cultivate a heart of compassion. Benevolence will be yours. 
 
By doing "the good work of self," you will create a life for yourself that is happier, healthier, more love-filled. It is this "inner progress" that can motivate you because it naturally follows that if you tend well to your inner landscape, constructive changes will take place in your outer world too. 
 
"As within, so without," the sages of the past have told us. And it's true. Whatever progress we make in our minds and hearts cannot help but be reflected throughout society.
