If you are terrified of making mistakes, you will be reluctant to acknowledge them when you do make them-and therefore you will not correct them.

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.

Self-acceptance is my refusal to be in an adversarial relationship to myself.

One of the hardest expressions of self-assertiveness is challenging your limiting beliefs.

Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.

If you overcome your fear to ask someone for a date, a raise, or help with a project, that is an act of self-assertiveness. You are moving out into life rather than contracting and withdrawing.

Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss.

Integrity is congruence between what you know, what you profess, and what you do.

The greater a child’s terror, and the earlier it is experienced, the harder it becomes to develop a strong and healthy sense of self.

If you face life without confidence in your own powers, you succumb too easily to setbacks and adversity; you lack the will to persevere.

There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.

No matter how disappointing you believe your life currently is, it is never too late to start reshaping it to become an amazing testimony.

Home isn't just a house or a city or a place

If you want to share then share the spirit of love, unity and humanity.

True time is four-dimensional.

Beauty, no doubt, does not make revolutions. But a day will come when revolutions will have need of beauty.

Challenge is good for any relationship.

There is a lure in power. It can get into a man's blood just as gambling and lust for money have been known to do

My dad is such a good man, hard-working.

I do ballads that say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear, or I do songs about social issues.

For so work the honey bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
