Self Esteem Is The Reputation We Acquire

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.

Accepting Does Not Necessarily Mean Liking, Enjoying, Condoning. I Can Accept What Is-and Be Determined To Evolve From There. It Is Not Acceptance But Denial That Leaves Me Stuck.

One Of The Characteristics Of Love Relationships That Flower Is A Relatively High Degree Of Mutual Self-disclosure - A Willingness To Let Our Partner Enter Into The Interior Of Our Private World And A Genuine Interest In The Private World Of That Partner. Couples In Love Tend To Show More Of Themselves To Each Other Than To Any Other Person.

It Is Painful To Face The Self We Know We Have Never Had The Integrity To Honor And Assert.

Respect Starts With Ourselves.
