Affirmation for the day:

My power comes from being what I am.  (A Deep Breath of Life by Alan Cohen)

My interpretation:
      Be true to yourself and appreciate who you are.  You are unique and should honor the very special person that you are.  It's great to work on your weaknesses and to express your strengths, knowing that they are yours and that we all have different strengths and weaknesses.  We often choose friends to support/strengthen/compliment the qualities that we have.  When you see a negative quality in a friend or acquaintance, be aware that this may be the universe reflecting back to you what you see or feel in yourself.  Look in the mirror and tell yourself "I approve and appreciate the very special person that I am".
