When the Cheshire emerges...

How ironic in that days where I've felt more than a bit isolated I let my blog, and these quotes, slip. No more...

Self-esteem comes from the self, not from acquisition and approval.

You cannot always be number one, or always win a contest, or always get the merit badge, or always make the honour roll, but you can always think of yourself as an important, worthwhile person.

Our beliefs about ourselves are the most telling factors in determining our level of success and happiness in life.

Every single condition in your life can be improved if you learn to be more effective at visualising what you want and having the intention to manifest it.

Individuals who use self-labels are stating, "I'm a finished product in this area, and I'm never going to be any different." If you're a finished product, all tied up and put away, you've stopped growing.

Make a personal decision to be in love with the most beautiful, exciting, worthy person ever - you!

Whenever other people are upset, always remember that they own the upset, and that you can refuse to join them.

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

Buddha said, "You will not be punished for your anger. You will be punished by your anger."

No one can depress you. No one can make you anxious. No one can hurt your feelings. No one can make you anything other than what you allow inside.
