slyyderMan is only miserable so far as he thinks himself so.
Jacopo Sannazaro
Never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. People will take you very much at your own reckoning.
Anthony Trollope
If you think taking care of yourself is selfish, change your mind. If you don't, you're simply ducking your responsibilities.
Ann Richards
Try to put your happiness before anyone else's, because you may never have done so in your entire life, if you really think about it, if you are really honest with yourself.
Margaret Cho
The worst thing you can possibly do is worrying and thinking about what you could have done.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
A man's worst enemies can't wish on him what he can think up himself.
Yiddish Proverb
Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.
Mitch Albom
Happiness is something that you are and it comes from the way you think.
Wayne Dyer
I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.

on 2007-12-09 07:59 am (UTC)We must forgive those we feel have wronged us, not because they deserve to be forgiven, but because we love ourselves so much we don't want to keep paying for the injustice. Forgiveness is the only way to heal. We can choose to forgive because we feel compassion for ourselves. We can let go of the resentment and declare "That's enough! I will no longer be the big Judge that goes against myself. I will no longer beat myself up and abuse myself. I will no longer be the Victim."
don Miguel Ruiz
And in the end that is the key, its not about compassion for others and forgiving others, its about compassion for yourself, caring about yourself, and letting go of that poison and hatred for your own good, not anyone else.
