Our encouragement is that you let your opinion of you be your top priority.
That you put your greatest effort into examining yourself wit hthe intent of discovering wonderful things.
That you let the way you feel be the most important aspect of your work.
For it is our absolute knowing that the way you feel is your point of attraction.
From a place of self-appreciation you will attract all sorts of wonderful things.
From a cantered place of liking yourself you will allow all wonderful things to come unto you.
And as you find that place of self-appreciation, not only do you then attract unto you things that are satisfying unto you,
but now you are that balanced, self-appreciating being that is able to see wonderful things in others, thus uplifting them to greater self-awareness.
