"Lift yourself by your own self; let not the self be lowered. The self alone is the friend of the self; the self alone is the enemy of the self."
Modern explanation
As the day quiets, hold this: No one else can pull you up to the rung you most need to reach. You can do this for yourself.
Practical application
Recall one thing you did today that the doubting voice predicted you couldn't.
Reflection question
