• Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end. No apologies, no regrets. ~Clark Moustakas
  
  
• "Total self-esteem requires total and unconditional acceptance of yourself. You are a unique and worthy individual, regardless of your mistakes, defeats and failures, despite what others may think, say or feel about you or your behavior. If you truly accept and love yourself, you won't have a driving need for attention and approval. Self-esteem is a genuine love of self. Stop all adverse value judging of yourself. Stop accepting the adverse value judgments of others. Purge yourself of all condemnation, shame, blame, guilt & remorse." ~ Unknown Source.
  
  
• If our lives have become shallow,
  Deepen them
  If our principles have become shabby,
  Repair them.
  If our ideals have become tarnished,
  Restore them.
  If our loyalties have grown dim,
  Brighten them.
  If our values have become confused,
  Clarify them.
  If our horizons have become contracted,
  Widen them.
  If our hearts have become chilled by
  Indifference, fear, and disappointment,
  Warm them with mercy and faith and love
  For ourselves and for each other.
  ~Alvyn Freed
