I am a very big fan of Walt Whitman. I think there are a lot of things to learn from him, especially as a writer. He talks of self love and the declaration of self love and how important it is to a person. If you have ever seen "The Dead Poets Society," they recite the lines "O Captain! my Captain!" which is from Whitman. It's a line that is used in one of the most pivotal points in the film and it's a really beautiful scene. 

In "Song of Myself," Whitman writes "I celebrate myself and I sing myself." These are my favorite lines from Whitman. I really think they are some of the most beautiful words because they really tell you what he was all about. At the beginning and ending of every day, you must fully love and celebrate yourself so that you can be yourself, completely. That's some pretty inspiring stuff.

So today, you should go read Whitman. He'll do you some good.
