What is you talent? Everyone has one. Maybe writing a Transformers screenplay or inventing a new character and submitting it to HASBRO.

Focus on what you like no matter what other people think of it. Focus on your dreams and work at them and self love, money, and true love from others will follow.

When you can accept yourself and love your self things will start to look better.

Look at yourself in the mirror every morning and say:

I love and accept you exactly as you are.


Brutal, I know, but important.

The way to love yourself is in ongoing service to others...give as much as you can, do as much as you can, be as selfless as you can..expect nothing.

Fink we had a plan on how to feel great, with out drinking it will keep your mind occupied, and then the love will come.

This is what the plan will bring to you if you do this for yourself, you will win every time.

i think acceptance is key. Accept yourself the way you are, right now. You are just fine. Anyone can be improved but that is not what I'm talking about. You are just fine as you are, you are loveable, you are fine. Relax about anything you think you ought to be, ought to have done or not done, really have to do immediately to make yourself ok.......you are ok.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
