We have to love ourselves. Accept ourselves.

Oh, I wish we could get extended respite from our hectic lives. We often get run-down without realizing it. It's like we have no other choice. So many things. And if we let up for a while, the details pile up. We tell ourselves we have to become more efficient. But ultimately, it comes down to making hard choices. Admitting that we can't be everything to everybody. In the end, we have to remain true to ourselves. Knowing, understanding, that we have to take care of ourselves to be good to anyone. We have to love ourselves. Accept ourselves. --Jim Broede
