Summary

This quote suggests that our ability to recognize and appreciate certain virtues in others is a reflection of those same virtues within ourselves. The extent to which we are able to perceive and value positive qualities in others is limited to the extent that we possess those qualities within ourselves. In other words, our perception is shaped by our own experiences, values, and personal virtues, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and personal growth in our understanding and appreciation of others.

Dear one reading this, Please know that you are worth more than you could ever understand. Your purpose is so profound that the whole world will begin a fresh type of healing as you accomplish it.

Please. I beg you. Realize this: You are already changing the world.
