Never let anyone convince you of anything negative about yourself unless it is for your own betterment.

The invitation to something better is not arriving from any source outside of yourself — ever.

You are responsible for doing what good you can with what you have, and any good is better than none.

Being alone is much better than being around negative people out of loneliness or desperation.

Some people have abusive, negative, controlling tendencies in their blood; they are wired for havoc, bickering and deception.

The most dangerous negativity comes from ourselves in the form of doubts, fears and unreasonable self-criticisms.
