I Get People To Truly Accept Themselves

You Have Considerable Power To Construct Self-helping Thoughts, Feelings And Actions As Well As To Construct Self-defeating Behaviors. You Have The Ability, If You Use It, To Choose Healthy Instead Of Unhealthy Thinking, Feeling And Acting.

The Emotionally Sound Person Should Be Able To Take Risks, To Ask Himself What He Really Would Like To Do In Life, And Then To Try To Do This, Even Though He Has To Risk Defeat Or Failure. He Should Be Adventurous (though Not Necessarily Foolhardy); Be Willing To Try Almost Anything Once, Just To See How He Likes It; And Look Forward To Some Breaks In His Usual Life Routines.

People Could Rationally Decide That Prolonged Relationships Take Up Too Much Time And Effort And That They'd Much Rather Do Other Kinds Of Things. But Most People Are Afraid Of Rejection.

Unless, Of Course, You Insist On Identifying Yourself With The People And Things You Love; And Thereby Seriously Disturb Yourself.

To Err Is Human; To Forgive People And Yourself For Poor Behavior Is To Be Sensible And Realistic.
