If we could learn to like ourselves, even a little, maybe our cruelties and angers might melt away.

Learn to love

Learn to love the challenges, and you will grow stronger. Learn to love putting forth effort, and you’ll find yourself becoming more capable and effective.

Learn to love making a positive contribution, and your life will grow richer. Learn to love being around people who are different than you, and you’ll gain many valuable new perspectives.

Learn to love discovering what you do not know, and your knowledge will greatly expand. Learn to love truly listening, and your wisdom will increase.

Learn to love giving, and your life will be blessed. Learn to love being thankful, and you’ll know real abundance.

Learn to love the ordinary moments, and you’ll find each day filled with warm golden treasures. Learn to love simply being, and you’ll rise to a whole new level of awareness.

Learn to love something about each day, and your days will bring rich fulfillment. Learn to love, and you’ll know how to live.

— Ralph Marston
