Successful people succeed because they learn from their failures.

The most difficult things in life to face are the things you do not like about yourself. Not your ears, legs, hair or those habits and abilities you feel are not up to par. It is the ugly things you know about yourself that need a good long look. You recognize it when you see it in others, but you make excuses for yourself.


You may go to any length to cover a shortcoming, while you quickly point out the ills of another. Since the very thing you want to hide is the thing that shows itself, you need to be able to say, "I know that and I'm working on it!" It takes a loving heart, a willing mind and a sensitive spirit to get to the core of the self. But when you do, you can root out the seeds of ugliness.


I acknowledge, accept and embrace everything about me.
