I love this quote!!! LOL. Never heard this one before. But if there is one piece of advice that will cure us all of our insecurities and self-doubt, it is this quote.

Anyone who has left a mark on any sector of society, from the entertainment field to industry and science, is a unique individual. He/she has the courage to be himself/herself without apology. And no one is perfect but in fact our "flaws" shape who we are. Make those flaws work for you.

“Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.”
― Philip G. Zimbardo

OR

As exemplified in George Orwell's "1984" when confronted with his worst fear (a menacing rat) Wintston Smith lost his sense of decency, humanity and self- when he screamed "Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don't care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me"- the following quote is extremely salient.


“The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.”
― Philip G. Zimbardo

It's time for you to look in the mirror and know that the person looking back at you is precious beyond measure.

When I read your quote, Dr. Hershey, I imagined myself doing this and a warm sensation rippled through me.

Thank you. My goodness. I actually felt love for myself. That has been the hardest thing for me.

Lori,
Your post made me smile !!

I notice that some people find it hard to "love" themselves in this way. People sometimes think that feeling that way about yourself is selfish. This is not so. You can't give out to others what you don't have.

That is so true. That is why it is important to try not to condemn or judge another. Because we just don't know what is going on in his or her internal world.

The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are.
The second greatest challenge is being happy with what you find.
