To really 'live,' that is to find life reasonably satisfying, you must have an adequate and realistic self-image that you can life with. You must find yourself acceptable to 'you.'

Develop an enthusiasm for life, create a need for more life, and you will receive more life.

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.

You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.

Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.

Admit your mistakes but don't cry over them. Correct them and go forward.

We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice.
