• Self-respect is often mistaken for arrogance when in reality it is the opposite. When we can recognize all our good qualities as well as our faults with neutrality, we can start to appreciate ourselves as we would a dear friend and experience the comfortable inner glow of respect.

Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings we develop true regard for ourselves and our life will become sacred.
