Never define yourself in terms of how you are negatively affected by others.

There's no such thing as a 'stressful' situation.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.

When people feel criticized, they almost always defend the behavior you want them to change.
