This is one of the best quotes I have found to date.
 
How true it rings.

    I do like that.  And I might respectfully add, having the courage to belong to oneself.  I think a lot of people live very unhappy and unfulfilled lives because they didn't know, or were afraid to belong to themselves.
     
    You okay, pcakes?

    Hi Polar - I agree - one has to be happy and content within themselves and about themselves before they can be happy around others.I learned that a long time ago.My motto in life isnt a selfish one,but it is 'look after number one' with yourself being the number one in question.
    I hope you are ok.

    Polarkins... you know its true.  There is nothing more marvelous in life than being truly in tune with yourself.  It attracts so many other full circles... this is what I call it anyway.
     
    I see my self as a O some people see themselves as C not quite complete huh? can't put to of them C's together to make a whole, you gotta put two O's to make infinity!

    Hi All
     
    Thanks for your comments, I am glad that you liked the quote :-)
     
    To those of you who asked.  Yes, I am fine. . .I feel whole.  Thank you for asking.
     
    Meemsie, I agree. . .I had to come to that point of allowing myself to be belong and not be under the auspices of others.
     
    Cuppa, honestly that sums it up. . .number one needs to be happy and content first; not in a proud way but for everyone's good.
     
    Lucy, I love your analogy of the Os and Cs, it makes sense to me.
     
    RC, hey man!  I DO like your hat :-))
