Feel Deeply To Think Clearly.

Out Of Fear, Out Of The Desire For Approval, Out Of The Misguided Notions Of Duty, People Surrender Themselves-their Convictions And Their Aspirations-every Day. There Is Nothing Noble About It. It Takes Far More Courage To Fight For Your Values Than To Relinquish Them.

To Preserve An Unclouded Capacity For The Enjoyment Of Life Is An Unusual Moral And Psychological Achievement. Contrary To Popular Belief, It Is Not The Prerogative Of Mindlessness, But The Exact Opposite: It Is The Reward Of Self-esteem.

A Commitment To Lifelong Learning Is A Natural Expression Of The Practice Of Living Consciously.

It Is Impressive To See A Person Who Has Been Battered By Life In Many Ways, Who Is Torn By A Variety Of Unsolved Problems, Who May Be Alienated From Many Aspects Of The Self-but Who Is Still Fighting, Still Struggling, Still Striving To Find The Path To A Fulfilling Existence, Moved By The Wisdom Of Knowing, "i Am More Than My Problems."

We Tend To Feel Most Comfortable, "most At Home", With People Whose Self Esteem Level Resembles Our Own.
