I have learned that self-esteem is just that: SELF-esteem. Not wife-esteem or lover-esteem or even sponsor-esteem. It has to come from ME, not from others opinions of me. ~Al-Anon
“ Run your fingers through my soul . For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once; just once, understand.”
"You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are." - Edgar A. Guest .
You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. - Jim Rohn
