Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

Once you believe in yourself and see your soul as divine and precious, you'll automatically be converted to a being who can create miracles.

Critics hang around and wait for others to make mistakes. But the real doers of the world have not time for criticizing others. They are too busy doing, making mistakes, improving, making progress.

As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate.

If you knew who walked beside you at all times, on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again.

Whatever your plan, you never invest your own self-worth in its ultimate success or failure.
