but one must take it BECAUSE it is right.

Self-respect is often mistaken for arrogance
when in reality it is the opposite.

as well as or faults with neutrality,
we can start to appreciate ourselves
as we would a dear friend

we need to become our own loving teacher and coach.
Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,
we develop true regard for ourselves,
and our life will become sacred.
- Osho

than the ephemeral - merely different.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born -

- Warren G. Bennis
