For "i" To Become "we"

Suppose You Feel You Cannot Accept Some Fact About Yourself. Then Own Your Refusal To Accept. Own The Block. Embrace It Fully. And Watch It Begin To Disappear. The Principal Is This: Begin Where You Are-accept That. Then Change And Growth Become Possible.

If We Do Have Realistic Confidence In Our Mind And Value, If We Feel Secure Within Ourselves, We Tend To Experience The World As Open To Us And To Respond Appropriately To Challenges And Opportunities.

Our Motive Is Not To Prove Our Self-worth, But To Live Up To Our Possibilities.

In A World In Which We Are Exposed To More Information, More Options, More Philosophies, More Perspectives Than Ever Before, In Which We Must Choose The Values By Which We Will Live (rather Than Unquestioningly Follow Some Tradition For No Better Reason Than That Our Own Parents Did), We Need To Be Willing To Stand On Our Own Judgment And Trust Our Own Intelligence-to Look At The World Through Our Own Eyes-to Chart Our Course And Think Through How To Achieve The Future We Want, To Commit Ourselves To Continuous Questioning And Learning-to Be, In A Word, Self-responsible.

If You Face Life Without Confidence In Your Own Powers, You Succumb Too Easily To Setbacks And Adversity; You Lack The Will To Persevere.
