Love is not an act, it is a noun.

[Via Wisdomblog]

Q. How can I love and respect myself? And break a pattern that has been in me since I was seven years old?

Sri Sri: Forget about it, take it for granted. And this is one such thing. If you try to love yourself, you would be in trouble. The more effort you put, the longer it takes for you to realize this. So take it for granted that everyone loves themselves for sure and you too love yourself. You are love. Love is not an act, it is a noun.
