The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own.

If you would stop, really stop, damning yourself, others, and unkind conditions, you would find it almost impossible to upset yourself emotionally - about anything. Yes, anything.

This, perhaps, goes to show that conditional self-esteem, as I have said for many years, is an insidious, real sickness, so much so that even Buddhists carelessly sneak it in and sometimes encourage their clients to achieve it.

We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.

Religious creeds encourage some of the craziest kinds of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and favor severe manifestations of neurosis, borderline personality states, and sometimes even psychosis.

The goal of all life is to have a ball.

Even when people act nastily to you, don't condemn them or retaliate.
