The saying 'flattery gets you everywhere' appalls me. If you're going to pay someone a compliment make sure it's 100% genuine or not at all.-Flattery is deception and who wants to be lied to?

You are never alone as long as you are in the company of your precious self.

You are your own soul mate, so love and treat yourself in the same way you would your life partner.

There is nothing shameful about loving yourself. The shame is in NOT loving the unique and brilliant individual that you are.
