And God said to the angels: <!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to

If nothing existed then that nothing would be something therefore nothing cannot exist, a simple statement of logic with huge implications. The contrapositive of this statement – If something did not exist then that something would be nothing which would be something therefore something must exist, has even greater implications.

Recognize that programming is everywhere, and it isn't all bad. Your programming started with your parents teaching you things, and both consciously and unconsciously programming you with all of their beliefs and attitudes. That is not necessarily bad — it is usually good. You are better off for having had parents who cared about you and wanted to teach you. But unfortunately, you

Just as you cannot love anyone else until you love yourself, you cannot be true to anyone else until you are true to yourself. Be who you are. Have the courage to accept yourself as you really are, not as as someone
