I hadn't heard that one before. I also often reflect on the quote about how no one can make you feel bad without your permission. I think they speak to the same sentiment - namely being confident in who you are, where you are and how you deserve to be treated. This was an inspiring post to read.

Adjustment made. I have to say, my years after around age 50 have been my happiest. (I hope they continue that way!). Finally liking myself and not competing with myself was the key. I am enough. And if you don't like me, oh well.
