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

Self-respect, is like sanity:
It\'s just another luxury, that I CAN\'T AFFORD!

Would anyone respect you if you have no respect for yourself...?

Thanks teamDS for the affirmations.

Another good one, TeamDS. People seem to have more respect for their cars than they do for their own bodies these days. You wouldn\'t put bad gasoline into your car\'s gas tank, so don\'t put junk food into your body for fuel.
