You Are Worthy of Love

The sun shone brightly today. The garden was lovely and inviting. Circumstances were such that I had no where else to be.

I brought my canvas and pallet outside, content to sit in the sun and paint.

Inspired by the quote:

"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"

Text Reads:

There are times when we will be most critical

we will lack compassion and caring

or feel we are unable to forgive ourselves.

We are unwilling to try because we believe

we do not deserve it.

However there is no greater strength

than that of self knowledge

the root of which is found in our

belief in and ability for

self love,

of this you are

worthy.
