Ahimsa: nonviolence: 6

I have to love myself if I am going to love others.  I have heard this so often that it begins to sound cliché, but have truer words ever been spoken?  Love is the fabric of the Universe.  Love is God.  How I treat myself will directly affect how I treat others.  When I am being critical of others, there are thousands of self-critical thoughts running through my head.  I can sit, take back my space, my thoughts, embrace my feelings, and wrap myself in the warm blanket that love is; then go back with patience, tolerance, and forgiveness, of myself, and those that surround me.
