We’ve all heard the expression “Treat others as you would treat yourself,” but do you see the irony of it?  As I grew older, and became more aware of my thoughts and stories, I realized that I hardly ever treat others as I treat myself.  I actually treat others much nicer, much kinder and way better all around.  Yet I manage to treat myself with so much anger, harshness and impatience, and I know I’m not the only one.  When was the last time you said something loving to yourself?  When was the last time you held your own hand and hugged yourself just for trying?”
