To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
Denis WaitleyIndividuals with a good self esteem can accept or reject the opinions of others, but never depend on them for their sense of worthiness.

Denis WaitleyOne of the best ways to properly evaluate and adapt to the many environmental stresses of life is to simply view them as normal. The adversity and failures in our lives, if adapted to and viewed as normal corrective feedback to use to get back on target, serve to develop in us an immunity against anxiety, depression, and the adverse responses to stress. Instead of tackling the most important priorities that would make us successful and effective in life, we prefer the path of least resistance and do things simply that will relieve our tension, such as shuffling papers and majoring in minors.
