Respect Starts With Ourselves.

In A World In Which We Are Exposed To More Information, More Options, More Philosophies, More Perspectives Than Ever Before, In Which We Must Choose The Values By Which We Will Live (rather Than Unquestioningly Follow Some Tradition For No Better Reason Than That Our Own Parents Did), We Need To Be Willing To Stand On Our Own Judgment And Trust Our Own Intelligence-to Look At The World Through Our Own Eyes-to Chart Our Course And Think Through How To Achieve The Future We Want, To Commit Ourselves To Continuous Questioning And Learning-to Be, In A Word, Self-responsible.

Self-esteem Is Not A Luxury; It Is A Profound Spiritual Need.

To Live Consciously Means To Seek To Be Aware Of Everything That Bears On Our Actions, Purposes, Values, And Goals—to The Best Of Our Ability, Whatever That Ability May Be—and To Behave In Accordance With That Which We See And Know.

Even When Our Life Is Most Difficult, It Is Important To Remember That Something Within Us Is Keeping Us Alive- The Life Force-that Lift Us, Energizes Us, Pulls Us Back Sometimes From The Abyss Of Despair. True Spirituality Does Not Exist Without Love Of Life.

Reason And Emotion Are Not Antagonists. What Seems Like A Struggle Between Two Opposing Ideas Or Values, One Of Which, Automatic And Unconscious, Manifests Itself In The Form Of A Feeling.
