Everything you need is inside you
Some would say that having needs, and striving to satisfy those needs, is a primary motivation force for living beings. If we are alive, we need to breathe, we need to eat, we need shelter, we need somewhere appropriate to live. And these needs must be met, because they are biological, and they ensure our…
Animals as the Perfect Tool for Self-Love
Yesterday we talked about how difficult it can be for us to love ourselves in the light of all external judgements, the judgements we impose on ourselves and how we tend to magnify our mistakes.
