We build character
by transcending
the weakness in ourselves.
We build self-respect
by knowing that we are better
than we were.
David Brooks

Self-transformation
is not achieved
by winning battles over self.
It is achieved
by reaching out of self,
to establish a communion
with your creator,
your family,
and your community,
on a magnificent
and joyous journey
to make the world a better place.
