keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

Whatever your work and whatever its worth,
No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,

There are those who will never admit it.

Loneliness is not what it seems.
One does not feel lonely because one is alone,

one's sense of inherent worth.

- Khalil Gibran

Before you can forgive others,
you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.
Before you can have gratitude for your life,
you must believe that your life has value.
Before your choices have value,
you must feel that you yourself have value.
Before you can dream a great dream for your future,
you have to believe that your future matters.
Before you can build positive habits of resolve and commitment,
before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb,
"Fall seven times, stand up eight,"
you must believe that your life matters.
Before you can celebrate your life, you must Honor it.
And, before you can feel unity with,
and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.
