00:09Therefore, if you love yourself, then it is not pleasure or happiness or gratification that you would want to provide yourself.

00:16You have to ask, what is it that I really want?

00:20What is it that would provide me a deep and very long lasting contentment?

00:26What is it that would elevate me from the level of desires for the futile?

00:33That is what I would want to gift myself.

00:36And that is called self-love.
