Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Accepting - Loving Yourself - The Ultimate Spiritual Practice
Gene Yakub:
All peace, well-being, strength can only be found within, as I'm sure you especially actually know. In this time of enormous changes at all levels, we must do our utmost to remain self-sufficient and connected to our higher selves which, I know, is easier said than done but I know you can do it!

"To be beautiful means to be yourself.
You don't need to be accepted by others.
You need to accept yourself." (Thich Nhat Hanh)
"Forgiveness is just that... It is 'For'-giving yourself the acceptance you were not able to give earlier." Sunie SeventhHeart
You are a holy vessel, a one-of-a-kind creation. The more you love yourself, the more energy you will have to offer our planet. You may think you have been denied opportunities or squandered opportunities or squandered chances. But, in this present moment, your breath is holy, and streams of creative energy await your cue. Still you may believe that you are not enough, or don't have everything it takes. These conventional and habitual beliefs keep you seperate from your true nature and the genius, power, and love that you have to give us. That's why self-love is the ultimate spiritual practice. Tama J. Kieves
Ra Divakar:
Can you transform your "inner critic" with an "inner soother"? If so, how?
Ron Alexander: Good question, Ra! How gentle can you be with yourself? What can you do to nurture yourself? Can you create a good supportive spiritual community? Do your regularly pray and meditate? Do you face problems with equanamity? Do you read good spiritual inspirational support. Do you take care of your body/temple?
