Shakti Gawain Quotes

When you look back... on your love affairs... what you really find out is that the only person you really go to bed with is yourself.

Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

If you can't be with yourself, you'll never learn to be with anyone else.

I don't believe I've ever truly been in love because I don't believe that I've known myself well enough in the past to allow someone to love me.

You're always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company.

It's easy to see and notice what we like in other people. Sometimes, it's not as easy to see the attributes and beauty in ourselves. It's good to see the beauty in others. But sometimes, take a moment and get excited when you notice what's beautiful in yourself, too.

Intimacy starts with a relationship with yourself, an understanding of who you are.

First, all relationships are with yourself-and sometimes they involve other people. Second, the most important relationship in your life-the one you have, like it or not, until the day you die-is with yourself.

The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome.

You must first get along with yourself before you can get along with others.

I just want my relationship to be more for myself rather than a public statement.

By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are and what you've achieved - and perhaps learned through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses - you actually can enhance everything about you. Self-acknowledgment and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.

I have to live in the truth that this is who I am. That's what I need to focus on.

What I am is how I came out. No one's perfect and you just have to accept your flaws and learn to love yourself.

I'm under no illusion that there are things about me that I'd like to change. I just accept who I am, and I'm proud of it.

I take deep breaths and be true to my heart.

When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don't know you think.

We can still do good for others and do good for ourselves. I would wither and die, truthfully. I need to be somewhere where the light's on me.

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

There's nothing more, nothing better in life to wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and feel comfortable with yourself and who you are.
