If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts, ourselves, we have no idea of the depth and breadth of love's reach.
That we are selfish gives us the opportunity to gain the power so that, in time, we might be selfless. To give back what we have learned. To teach what we know, and shorten the journey for those who will come after us.
I think the best way to get over your body issues is to just flaunt your body at every opportunity.
