Humans Can Always Accept Themselves Unconditionally.

I Get People To Truly Accept Themselves Unconditionally, Whether Or Not Their Therapist Or Anyone Loves Them.

As A Matter Of Fact, As A Result Of My Philosophy, I Wasn't Even Upset About Hitler. I Was Willing To Go To War To Knock Him Off, But I Didn't Hate Him. I Hated What He Was Doing.

The Goal...is Not To Change Your Desires And Wishes But To Persuade You To Stop Demanding That You Absolutely Must Have What You Wish-from Yourself, From Others, And From The World. You Can By All Means Keep Your Wishes, Preferences, And Desires, But Unless You Prefer To Remain Needlessly Anxious, Not Your Grandiose Demands.

People Are Terrified Of Other People Or Difficult Projects Because They Tell Themselves That They Could Fail Or Be Rejected. Failure Can Lead To Sorrow, Regret, Frustration And Annoyance - All Healthy, Negative Feelings Without Which People Couldn't Exist. But Then They Add, "i Absolutely Must Succeed And Must Be Loved By Significant Persons, And If I Don't, It's Terrible And I'm No Good." Those Are Irrational Beliefs. As Long As People Keep Them, They'll Be Terrified Of Life And Will Put Themselves Down When They Get Rejected.

Happiness Is Experienced Largely In Striving Towards A Goal, Not In Having Attained Things, Because Our Nature Is Always To Want To Go On To The Next Endeavor.
