The #1 problem most patients face is the inability to love themselves

Bernie Siegel

Remember this: Now is the only time you have. When God created the universe, it was now. You can’t say to creation and energy, “I’ll do it later, not now.” Later doesn’t exist. Creation doesn’t know anything but now.
