KeiWe

Using a working definition of love that tells us it is the action we take on behalf of our own or another’s spiritual growth provides us with a beginning blueprint for working on the issue of self-love. When we see love as a combination of trust, commitment, care, respect, knowledge, and respon-sibility, we can work on developing these qualities or, if they are already a part of who we are, we can learn to extend them to ourselves.
