A Drop of Hope

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
– Buddha
 
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
– Lucille Ball
 
Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.
– Brené Brown
 
It's so nice to see you posting again, Lucy!:rose:

It's hot here, so I'm just too discombobulated to put this in a pithy way, but:

As we all move forward in life, seeking that elusive better self that seems like those little specs on your eyeballs that you can never truly focus on because they move when you try to look at them, so is our perfect self. It will never be there. It is, by definition, a work in progress, like Parkinson's Law - a task that expands to fill the time allotted for its completion.

There is no "I'm done now - I've gotten there." How could there be? Ever?
It's a good thing, because as important as the improvement in ourselves is, so is the need and aspiration to seek our own further improvement.

To paraphrase a well known political statement:
"It's the journey, stupid" :D
