... There Is An Irrational, Cultish Tendency

Most Of Us Are Taught From An Early Age To Pay Far More Attention To Signals Coming From Other People Than From Within. We Are Encouraged To Ignore Our Own Needs And Wants And To Concentrate On Living Up To Others Expectations.

Your Life Is Important. Whether You Achieve What You Want In Life Matters. Whether You Are Happy Matters. Honor And Fight For Your Highest Potential. Self-realizatio N-the Realization Of The Best Within You-is The Noblest Goal Of Your Existence.

Of All The Judgments You Make In Life, None Is As Important As The One You Make About Yourself. The Difference Between Low Self-esteem And High Self-esteem Is The Difference Between Passivity And Action, Between Failure And Success.

Living Consciously Reflects The Conviction That Sight Is Preferable To Blindness; That Respecting The Facts Of Reality Is More Satisfying Than Denying Them; That Evasion Does Not Make The Unreal Real Or The Real Unreal; That It Is Better To Correct Your Mistakes That To Pretend They Do Not Exist; And That The More Conscious You Are Of Facts Bearing On Your Life And Goals, The More Wisely And Effectively You Can Act.

You Have A Right To Your Feelings. Your Feelings Are There To Tell You Something, But They Are Not Infallible Guides To Behavior.
