Doing More Of What Doesn't Work Doesn't

The More You Surrender To The Fear Of Someone's Disapproval, The More You Lose Face In Your Own Eyes, And The More Desperate You Become For Someone's Approval. Within You Is A Void That Should Have Been Filled By Self-esteem. When You Attempt To Fill It With The Approval Of Others Instead, The Void Grows Deeper And The Hunger For Acceptance And Approval Grows Stronger. The Only Solution Is To Summon The Courage To Honor Your Own Judgment, Frightening Though That May Be In The Beginning.

Some People Have A View Of Self And Of The Universe That Obliges Them To Struggle For Happiness, To Yearn For Happiness-"some Time In The Future"-perhaps Next Year Or The Year After That.

The First Step Toward Change Is Awareness. The Second Step Is Acceptance.

Anyone Who Really Loves You Wants You To Be Authentic. And Anyone Who Doesn't Want You To Be Authentic Doesn't Really Love You.
