Thought for today....
You need to like yourself. If you like yourself, you can believe in yourself. And if you believe in yourself then you won't do anything foolish to hurt yourself.

Blogs that I am reading
"Perfect charity is done, when by your gifts, the recipient is not only no longer dependent on others, but is a giver himself as well, for, if at day's end he is still the recipient and you are still the giver, his hand is not truly strengthened, and indeed nothing much has changed."
