Self-esteem Is Not A Luxury; It Is

We Are Anxious When There Is A Dissonance Between Our "knowledge" And The Perceivable Facts. Since Our "knowledge" Is Not To Be Doubted Or Questioned, It Is The Facts That Have To Be Altered.

Productive Achievement Is A Consequence And An Expression Of Health And Self-esteem, Not Its Cause.

If We Do Have Realistic Confidence In Our Mind And Value, If We Feel Secure Within Ourselves, We Tend To Experience The World As Open To Us And To Respond Appropriately To Challenges And Opportunities.

Of All The Judgments We Pass In Life, None Is More Important Than The Judgment We Pass On Ourselves.

Suppose You Feel You Cannot Accept Some Fact About Yourself. Then Own Your Refusal To Accept. Own The Block. Embrace It Fully. And Watch It Begin To Disappear. The Principal Is This: Begin Where You Are-accept That. Then Change And Growth Become Possible.
