From one of my first and still favorite counselor books.....Help for Helpers Daily Meditations:
Self Love (February 4)
If my basket is filled with plums
I can't give you apples
If my heart is filled with self-hatred
I can't teach you self-love
If I can't forgive myself
I can't grant you forgiveness
If I'm obsessed with perfection
I can't teach you tolerance
If my body trembles with anger
I can't teach you serenity
If I can't love myself
I can't love you
Let me remember today that, especially as a counselor, charity begins at home.
