Ways to Boost Your Self Esteem
1. Go ahead - toot your own horn! Quash insecurities before they start by looking into the mirror first thing in the morning and saying aloud positive things such as: "I'm confident and ready for the new day." or "I'm smart, energetic and downright gorgeous."
2. Splurge on a new lipstick! Just a tiny tweak can help you love the way you look, leading to a big spike in self-esteem.
3. Hang out with optimists! Confidence is contagious! The more you mix with self-assured, positive people, the more confident you'll become. Also key: make a habit of complimenting others. Helping someone else feel more upbeat about herself will help you feel that way too.
4. Give yourself a single red rose! Roses aren't just beautiful, their sweet fragrance stimulates the part of the brain responsible for feeling joy, clearing the way for a surge in self-esteem and creativity.
5. Fake it, and you'll make it. Nobody feels sure of herself all the time. But psychologists say that simply acting as if you do - even when you're a little uncertain - will immediately boost your confidence.

Someday
Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear. So too your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end. It won't matter whether you where beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin colour will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; Not what you got, but how you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter are not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

All That Really Matters
Life is too short for grievances, For quarrels and for tears, What's the use of wasting Precious days and precious tears.
If there's something to forgive, Forgive without delay Maybe you too, were part to blame, So make it up today.
Be generous, forget the past And take the broader view, Cast away all bitterness and Let the sunshine through.
If it's within your power A broken heart to mend,
Remember Love is all that reallyMatters in the end.
