Our innate goodness is an essential fact of our existence. It can never be taken from us. Neither can it be given to us by someone else. It already lives within us. When we perceive this truth, we will experience heaven on earth. When we experience heaven within us, we naturally are inclined to share that heaven with others through a pure, generous motive and a loving, positive attitude. When we are all that we can be, and when our actions arise spontaneously from the goodness of our being, we find peace and the presence of God within us..

Many years ago i taught a class on self esteem. By the end of the year I came to realize that it is not something we can achieve or some one can give to us. It is something that we already have and can discover that we have had it all along and had forgotten it.
