Affirmation for September 27, 2010: Self-Respect

He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.- Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThought of the day:To add a more contemporary spin to today's quote, who better than to quote the highly self-respecting diva, Aretha Franklin: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me!"Self-respect is the root of confidence and, in the end, peace with yourself. Everybody is human, and that is a beautiful thing. Look at yourself in the mirror today, and tell the reflection staring back at you something you love about yourself. You are a great person, make sure you realize it!Have an uplifting day!TeamDS
