You Have A Right To Your Feelings.

Self-acceptance Is My Refusal To Be In An Adversarial Relationship To Myself.

Reason And Emotion Are Not Antagonists. What Seems Like A Struggle Between Two Opposing Ideas Or Values, One Of Which, Automatic And Unconscious, Manifests Itself In The Form Of A Feeling.

Persons Of High Self-esteem Are Not Driven To Make Themselves Superior To Others; They Do Not Seek To Prove Their Value By Measuring Themselves Against A Comparative Standard. Their Joy Is Being Who They Are, Not In Being Better Than Someone Else.

To Attain "success" Without Attaining Positive Self-esteem Is To Be Condemned To Feeling Like An Imposter Anxiously Awaiting Exposure.

Sometimes The Subconscious Mind Manifests A Wisdom Several Steps Or Even Years Ahead Of The Conscious Mind, And Has Its Own Way Of Leading Us Toward Our Destiny.
