"Character --- the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life --- is the source from which self-respect springs." - Joan Didio

I am more aware than ever before what creates good self worth in a person. A person must approve of himself by overcoming and doing hard things.

If I do hard things this will improve my self worth and keep me humble at the same time. Remembering it is the narrow road that leads to life (few go this way) and the broad road that leads to death (many there are who go there).

Another thing I was taught long ago that has been a help to me is this: If I am hard on myself, God will go easy on me. Saying that, I must also say that I cannot change myself. My Lord is the one who changes me as I lend my members to Him to use for His good pleasure. He is love!
