So long as you are still worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself.

Grant yourself permission to have all that life has to offer, and you will discover it has more to offer than you've ever imagined.

Know that what you do in the time of your greatest trial can be your greatest triumph

It's good to be aware that a certain amount of fear is going to accompany every change in your life - a change for the worse or a change for the better. Knowing this can stop you from moving into fear about Change Itself. If you start fearing change generically you could wind up shrinking from ever making any kind of change at all for the rest of your day - even a change that obviously should be made for your own good.

Your world will follow your idea about yourself.

Even if it contradicted everything we knew to be true or thought to be so?
