A step in the wrong direction is better than staying on the spot all our life. Once you're moving forward you can correct your course as you go. Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're standing still.
The greatest miracle you can hope for is self-acceptance.
Ignore past failures and forge ahead.
Why not imagine yourself successful?
Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.
Loneliness is caused by an alienation from life. It is a loneliness from your real self.
