If you bring five percent more awareness to your work tomorrow, or to your most important relationship, what might you do differently? Are you willing to find out?

To trust one's mind and to know that one is worthy of happiness is the essence of self-esteem.

The feeling that "I am enough" does not mean that I have nothing to learn, nothing further to achieve, and nowhere to grow to. It means that I accept myself, that I am not on trial in my own eyes, that I value and respect myself. This is not an act of indulgence but of courage.

Self-respecting men and women think about the consequences of their actions-and are willing to take responsibility for them.

The first love affair you must consummate is the love affair with yourself. Only then are you ready for a romantic relationship.

If you choose not to live self-responsibly, you count on others to make up your default. No one abjures self-responsibility on a desert island.

An emotion is both a mental and a physical event.
