Self

Chapter 2

"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life." ~ Golda Meir "There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." ~ Aldous Huxley "Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." ~ Harvey Fierstein "Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful." ~ Mark Victor Hansen "The power is in you. The answer is in you. And you are the answer to all your searches: you are the goal. You are the answer. It's never outside." ~ Eckhart Tolle "Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength." ~ Billy Graham "We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves." ~ Dalai Lama "When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger." ~ Epictetus "Only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you." ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky "Loving yourself...does not mean being self-absorbed or narcissistic, or disregarding others. Rather it means welcoming yourself as the most honored guest in your own heart, a guest worthy of respect, a lovable companion" ~ Margot Anand "To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~ e. e. cummings "Always be a first-rate version of yourself." ~ Audrey Hepburn
