Anyone who really loves you wants you to be authentic. And anyone who doesn't want you to be authentic doesn't really love you.

Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do.

It's not that achievements prove our worth but rather that the process of achieving is the means by which we develop our effectiveness, our competence at living.

The desire for self-esteem without integrity is like the desire for wealth without effort-a longing for the unearned.

It is impressive to see a person who has been battered by life in many ways, who is torn by a variety of unsolved problems, who may be alienated from many aspects of the self-but who is still fighting, still struggling, still striving to find the path to a fulfilling existence, moved by the wisdom of knowing, "I am more than my problems."

You are not likely to bring out the best in people or nurture their creativity if every time you hear about their problems you instantly offer a solution Encourage people to look for their own solutions-and project the knowledge that they are capable of doing so.

Your life is important. Fight for it. Honour your highest potentials.
