Self Esteem Is The Reputation We Acquire

It Is A Curious Paradox Of Human History That A Doctrine That Tells Human Beings To Regard Themselves As Sacrificial Animals Has Been Accepted As A Doctrine Representing Benevolence And Love For Mankind.

Productive Achievement Is A Consequence And An Expression Of Health And Self-esteem, Not Its Cause.

In Any Culture, Subculture, Or Family In Which Belief Is Valued Above Thought, And Self-surrender Is Valued Above Self-expression, And Conformity Is Valued Above Integrity, Those Who Preserve Their Self-esteem Are Likely To Be Heroic Exceptions.

If You Do Not Feel Deserving Of Happiness, Consciously Or Subconsciously, Or If You Have Accepted The Idea That Happiness Is Somehow Wrong Or Cannot Last, You Will Not Respond Appropriately When Happiness Comes Knocking At Your Door In The Form Of Romantic Love. No Matter How Much You May Have Waited And Cried, You Will Not Welcome Love When It Arrives-you Will Find A Way To Sabotage It. What A Challenge To Resist This Temptation! What An Opportunity For True Spiritual Growth And Transformation-to Defy Your Negative Feelings And Honor The Gift That Life Offers You!

A Bully Hides His Fears With Fake Bravado. That Is The Opposite Of Self-assertiveness.
