I like to send little notes to my daughter to keep her spirits high while she is away at college. I thought an excerpt of a recent note to her might brighten your day too...
"We create the highest value not by focusing solely on our strengths or by ignoring our weaknesses, but by being attentive to both. Nowhere is this more critical than in the way we see ourselves. "Loving oneself is no easy matter ...because it means loving all of oneself."
It is through this embracing self-acceptance that we're freed to both acknowledge the obstacles we face and build the capacities we need to perform at our best." - FromThe Way We're Working isn't Working, Tony Schwartz
