Best Friends

"I'm lucky, because early on I realized that I should be my best friend. That's the lesson that I would like to give everybody." - Diane von Furstenberg, fashion designer

That's a beautiful lesson to pass on to others. It never occurred to me to be my own best friend. I didn't learn that as I was growing up. I don't know if it's because I wasn't listening or if it's because my friends and family never mentioned it but none of that really matters. The only thing that matters is knowing about the concept now.

I am a good friend to me today. I take better care of myself, I don't show disrespect by talking trash about myself, and I accept myself just the way I am. I strive to learn something new every day. I will never be perfect. But acceptance of self has done me a world of good. I feel so blessed.

So let's all share this lesson with everyone we can - today we will be our own best friends, and the results will be in showing each other the love and compassion we all deserve. Namaste.
