Low self-esteem is like driving through life with your hand-break on.

It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.

We, whoever we are, must have a daily goal in our lives, no matter how small or great, to make that day mean something.

Visualizing, creative mental picturing, is no more difficult than what you do when you remember some scene out of the past, or worry about the future. Acting out new action patterns is no more difficult than deciding, then following through on tying your shoes in a new and different manner each morning, instead of continuing to tie them in your old habitual way, without thought or decision.

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

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.'

Functionally, a man is somewhat like a bicycle. A bicycle maintains its poise and equilibrium only so long as it's moving forward towards something.
