    'Twas a jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
    Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
    His form was bent, and his gait was slow,
    His long thin hair was white as snow,
    But a wonderful twinkle shone in his eye.
    And he sang every night as he went to bed,
    "Let us be happy down here below:
    The living should live, though the dead be dead."
    Said the jolly old pedagogue long ago.

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.

It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room ahs been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years - we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on. . -Sharon Salzberg.
