Chapter 2: Self-Love is The Key to Wealth

It's painful not to love yourself because no one can give you self-love. People can love you, but you'll have trouble feeling their love if you don't love yourself.

Within each person's heart is infinite love from the Universe. The love that lives in others is the same love that lives in you. If you have trouble loving yourself, you don't need years of therapy, self-help books, or time in nature to fix this.

Loving yourself is a choice you can make right now. Like anything in your world, it's easy if you believe it's easy. All you must do to love yourself is look at all your thoughts, emotions, and actions with the same unconditional love a nurturing parent has for their child.

No matter what thoughts enter your mind, realize they aren't you. Once you discover you're not your thoughts, looking at them with unconditional love is easy.

If you ever have thoughts that feel shameful or evil, love them. Without feeding these unpleasant thoughts or trying to rationalize them away, observe them with loving, non-judgemental awareness.
