More From Francois Fenelon

Self-interest makes some people blind, and others sharp-sighted.
Self People Blind
The antagonism between science and religion, about which we hear so much, appears to me to be purely factitiousfabricated, on the one hand, by short-sighted religious people who confound a certain branch of science, theology, with religion; and, on the other, by equally short-sighted scientific people who forget that science takes for its province only that which is susceptible of clear intellectual comprehension; and that, outside the boundaries of that province, they must be content with imagination, with hope, and with ignorance

...to be a poet, requires a mythology of the self. the self described is the poet self, to which the daily self (and others) are often ruthlessly sacrificed. the poet self is the real self, the other one is the carrier; and when the poet self dies, the person dies.

The question "is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?" is one you must consistently ask yourself if you are committed to having all that you want and all that you deserve. when you love yourself you feel worthy and deserving of claiming the gifts of this world. self-love gives you peace of mind and balance. self-love gives you self-respect and the ability to respect others. it gives you the confidence to stand up and ask for what you want. self-love is the main ingredient in a successful, fulfilled life.
