"The first step is to develop an unconditional friendship with yourself. Unconditional friendship means staying open when you want to shut down, when it is just too painful, too embarrassing, too unpleasant, too hateful what you see in yourself. The whole mark of training in cultivating bravery is so you could go anywhere on the earth and be of help to people because you wouldn't shut down on them. The first step is looking at yourself with a feeling of gentleness and kindness. It takes a lot of guts, as Trungpa Rinpoche says, because it means staying present when you begin to fear what you see."
