An Idea Accepted As True

See Yourself Reacting To Threats, Not By Running Away Or Evading Them, But By Meeting Them, Dealing With Them, Grappling With Them In An Aggressive Intelligent Manner.

When A Person Has Adequate Self-esteem Little Slights Offer No Threat At All - They Are Simply "passed Over" And Ignored. Even Deeper Emotional Wounds Are Likely To Heal Faster And Cleaner, With No Festering Sores To Poison Life And Spoil Happiness.

When We Consciously And Deliberately Develop New And Better Habits, Our Self Image Tends To Outgrow The Old Habits And Grow Into The New Pattern.

A Step In The Wrong Direction Is Better Than Staying On The Spot All Our Life. Once You're Moving Forward You Can Correct Your Course As You Go. Your Automatic Guidance System Cannot Guide You When You're Standing Still.

We Simply Must Get It Through Our Heads That Holding A Low Opinion Of Ourselves Is Not A Virtue, But A Vice.
