When inviting friends over for dinner, we try to cook something special and make sure the house is clean and tidy. We serve the meal on the dining table with some music in the background, and maybe even light a few candles to create a relaxed atmosphere. We have an innate urge to ensure that someone else’s experience of our home is pleasant, comforting and enjoyable. The question is this: Why do we rarely treat ourselves with the same dignity and respect as we do others? Next time you prepare a meal for yourself, instead of eating it while standing next to the refrigerator (or hovering over the sink), sit down for a few minutes. Turn off the blaring television in the background, clear off the dining table, and embrace your own worthiness of the same ambiance that you offer guests. Just as when we say, “Namaste,” meaning the divinity in us acknowledges and respects the divinity in others, pay homage to the God within you, and celebrate your greatness every day. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection —The Buddha
