Befriend Yourself

“When you reach a state of harmony within yourself and become friends with yourself, then, simultaneously, your environment, Heaven and Earth, will become your friends. For such a person there are no enemies, no ‘impure’ people. Everything is pure to those who are pure.
Do you realize that our best friend is ourselves? We don’t have a closer and more intimate friend than ourselves…So the first person you must befriend is yourself. You will then be able to see yourself with great love and compassion.”
Fr. Maximos Constas
