when in reality it is the opposite.

we can start to appreciate ourselves

as we would a dear friend

we need to become our own loving teacher and coach.

Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,

we develop true regard for ourselves,

and our life will become sacred.

Each of us is of infinite value,

and each of us has the ability to make

a profound difference in the lives we touch.

We leave our most profoundly positive impact

on those around us by the nature of our lives

and the example we set -

not by how busy we are,

or how important we believe we are.

Setting an example of being loving, relaxed and joyful,

regardless of external circumstances,

is a great legacy for our family and for the world.

Self importance - ego - is not a path to happiness.

Focusing one's whole life on responsibilities,

without taking time for self-renewal and play,

abandons the joy and the true value of life.

I want my tombstone to read, "Inspired others,"

rather than, "Never missed a day at the office."

"Mother Teresa Prayer"

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

... Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you

of selfish, ulterior motives;

... Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some

false friends and some true enemies;

... Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

... Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

... Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

... Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

... Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

... Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

We can do no great things - only small things with great love.

- although commonly attributed to Mother Teresa,

who kept a copy of this prayer on

the wall of her Calcutta orphanage,

this prayer was actually written by Kent Keith.

Great relationships begin with two people who are each

self confident and who come to each other with the openness

to see and accept the other as a unique and wonderful person.

If there is true love and an alignment of fundamental values,

choose to join your life with your new partner

and vow never to criticize their nature -

the essence that makes them uniquely themselves.
