100 Quotes By Louise Hay On Healing & Self-Love:
#1 “I know that you’ve heard me say many times or you’ve read or listened on the tapes that loving yourself is the most powerful thing we can do, and everything flows beautifully. I’m not talking about vanity or arrogance because that is not love; that’s always fear.
I’m talking about just really respecting and appreciating this incredible magnificent being that we are; you know, little babies know how to love themselves; you were born in pure love, all of you; there’s not one little baby alive I that I know of that ever criticizes its body or ever says my hips are too big.”
#2 “The simple part that most people don’t understand is that every thought we think in every word we speak is creating our future. It’s as though our thoughts go out into the universe and are accepted and brought back to us as experience now, that is a very simple thing but most people don’t get it.
They don’t understand that they’ve never heard it before, and they think it’s ridiculous, but if you can really accept the fact that every time you think of a thought and every time you speak a word, you are literally painting your future — making your dinner whatever you want to call it you are creating, and you’re creating your own life and this is simple but it’s not easy to accept but once you accept it then you can start deliberately creating what you want in your life.”
#3 “I have come to realize it boils down to choosing the thoughts you think and choosing the foods you eat, and when you can be wise in both areas, you have perfect health because the body knows how to take care of itself but not if you give it a lot of junk and not if you give yourself a lot of junk thoughts.”
#4 “The universe loves gratitude. The more grateful you are, the more things you have to be grateful about.”
#5 “I have never understood the importance of having children memorize battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy. Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as How the Mind Works, How to Handle Finances, How to Invest Money for Financial Security, How to be a Parent, How to Create Good Relationships, and How to Create and Maintain Self-Esteem and Self-Worth. Can you imagine what a whole generation of adults would be like if they had been taught these subjects in school along with their regular curriculum?”
#6 “Each day is a new opportunity. I chose to make this day a great one.”
#7 “The past has no power over us. It doesn’t matter how long we have had a negative pattern. The point of power is in the present moment. What a wonderful thing to realize! We can begin to be free in this moment!”
#8 “Would you really dig into yesterday’s garbage to make tonight’s meal? Do you dig into old mental garbage to create tomorrow’s experiences? If a thought or belief does not serve you, let it go! There is no written law that says that because you once believed something, you have to continue to believe it forever.”

Our breath is the most precious substance in our lives, and yet we totally take for granted when we exhale that our next breath will be there.”
