This beautiful pink crystal has long been associated with love and opening the heart centre of the body. When our hearts are open are genuinely ourselves, and only good can come of this. Our best friends allow us the ease of being our crazy, wacky selves, and there is no greater gift. Self love is, I would say, the most important goal in life. Rose Quartz says, "I am here to help your magnificence, and that you are perfect exactly as you are! When you recognise this your life will be abundant and full of joy.  Be kind to yourself. Only do the things that feel good to you, that make you happy and excited about living. Spend time sitting quietly in a comfortable place with Rose Quartz in hand, and talk to your higher self out loud. S/he knows everything. :)
