To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.
Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
