Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.

Romantic love is a passionate spiritual-emotional-sexual attachment between a man and a woman that reflects a high regard for the value of each other's person.

If we attach more importance to what other people believe than to what we know to be true - if we value belonging over being - we will not attain authenticity.

An emotion is both a mental and a physical event.

Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause.

Fear and pain should be treated as signals not to close our eyes but to open them wider.

If you have high self-esteem, you might still know times of emotional suffering, but less often and with faster recovery-your resilience is greater.
