The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life.

Feel deeply to think clearly.

Fully to surrender to love can be terrifying. But it is the price life asks in exchange for the possibility of ecstasy.

Moved by a passion they do not understand for a goal they seldom reach, men and women are haunted by the vision of a distant possibility that refuses to be extinguished.

As you grow in self-esteem, your face, manner, way of talking and moving will tend naturally to project the pleasure you take in being alive.

Accepting does not necessarily mean liking, enjoying, condoning. I can accept what is-and be determined to evolve from there. It is not acceptance but denial that leaves me stuck.

Our motive is not to prove our self-worth, but to live up to our possibilities.
