"Be with oneself without embarrassment or harshness. This is the instruction on how to love oneself and one's world." From Awakening Loving-kindness by Pema Chodron
These simple words seem to be at the core of my own struggle... So often embarrassed at who I am not... The person I believe I'm supposed to be... So often I am harsh towards myself, and not truly loving.
Imagine if only I could drop the whips and chains... What would I be like? Why is it so hard to change this way of being? What am I supposed to learn from it?
