The greatest miracle you can hope for is self-acceptance.

You are embarking on the greatest adventure of your life - to improve your self-image, to create more meaning in your life and in the lives of others. This is your responsibility.

I am a firm believer in 'negative thinking' when used correctly. We need to be AWARE of negatives so that we can steer clear of them. A golfer needs to know where the bunkers and sand traps are - but he doesn't think continuously about the bunker - where he doesn't want to go. His mind glances at the bunker, but he DWELLS upon the green.

The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.

One's capacity for friendship, which can be developed, is basic to one's capacity for happiness.

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.

Do not say to yourself, 'I am going to act this way tomorrow.' Just say to yourself - 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way NOW - for 30 minutes - today.'
