I came across these today and wanted to share....
Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out. ~Alan Cohen
People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small. They can desire others, because desire comes out of a sense of inner incompleteness, which demands to be filled. But they can not love others, because love is an affirmation of the living growing being in all of us. If you don't have it, you can't give it. ~Andrew Matthews

Perhaps if there could be a place within this setting where we could add both hope filled quotes, as well as those that improve our reality of what narcissism is truly about. Before we can get to the sunshine, we have to understand why it is raining...
"You have to figure out what love is to truly know how to follow your heart. So much of love has been tainted by desire, attachment, and the need for validation that most of what people consider to be love is just an ego game, which will lead to endless misery and only temporary happiness. Instead, go to that space inside of you that is unconditional and totally accepting--that's where true love is." - from Jim Tolles. I love this guy.
