Once you let go of it there would be nothing holding you back.

Inspiring Quotes

Nothing stays on forever. Life is a cyclic process of ups and downs; it is a roller coaster ride.

And you are never alone in the larger scheme of things.

1. “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”- Oscar Wilde

Inspiring Quotes

No, this isn’t what narcissism says. What the quote implies is that you need to awaken your love for yourself, such that it never dies. Once you are able to do that nobody would be competent to bring you down by hurting your self-esteem. You’d become your best critic. The days of finding an emotional support and relying on others for psychological well-being would be over.

You must not breathe but live through life with the virtues of love, compassion and hard work echoing not only in your mind but also in your actions.
