Respect Starts With Ourselves.

In The Nature Of Our Existence, We Must Act To Achieve Values. And In Order To Act Appropriately, We Need To Value The Beneficiary Of Our Actions. In Order To Seek Values, We Must Consider Ourselves Worthy Of Enjoying Them. In Order To Fight For Our Happiness, We Must Consider Ourselves Worthy Of Happiness.

If We Do Not Believe In Ourselves- Neither In Our Efficacy Nor In Our Goodness- The Universe Is A Frightening Place.

Taking On Responsibilities That Properly Belong To Someone Else Means Behaving Irresponsibly Toward Yourself. You Need To Know Where You End And Someone Else Begins. You Need To Understand Boundaries. You Need To Know What Is And Is Not Up To You, What Is And Is Not In Your Control, What Is And Is Not Your Responsibility.

Anyone Who Really Loves You Wants You To Be Authentic. And Anyone Who Doesn't Want You To Be Authentic Doesn't Really Love You.

A Well-developed Sense Of Self Is A Necessary If Not Sufficient Condition Of Your Well-being. Its Presence Does Not Guarantee Fulfillment, But Its Absence Guarantees Some Measure Of Anxiety, Frustration, Or Despair.
