The World Belongs To Those Who Persevere.

For Children Mastery Entails Struggle. This Means They Must Be Permitted To Struggle. If Parents Inappropriately Step In To "help"-out Of Impatience Or Solicitude-they Sabotage Important Learning. Among Other Things, The Child Is Unlikely To Discover The Advantages Of Perseverance And Self-discipline.

Self-esteem Is Not A Luxury; It Is A Profound Spiritual Need.

Your Choices Have Psychological Consequences. The Way You Choose To Deal With Reality, Truth, Facts - Your Choice To Honor Or Dishonor Your Own Perceptions - Registers In Your Mind, For Good Or For Bad, And Either Confirms And Strengthens Your Self-esteem Or Undermines And Weakens It.

Set Goals That Don't Feel All That Easy, That Challenge You, Stimulate You, And Give You A Chance To Stretch And Push Yourself. That Is Where The Power Of Growth Lies.

If You Face Life Without Confidence In Your Own Powers, You Succumb Too Easily To Setbacks And Adversity; You Lack The Will To Persevere.
