Refuse to cast yourself as a victim in your inner world and in your public persona; it's a straight shot to pain and disappointment. This misguided approach marginalizes your ability to live a fruitful, powerful and rewarding existence. ~~~~~S Esonis

Success is good for you, and so is failure.

Expect to succeed. Trust that you will achieve superlative results.

Passion is about living deeply, finding what inspires you, what sets your creative and emotional world ablaze, what brings purpose and meaning to your life.

We all have limitations. Rather than allowing your limitations to bring you shame or discouragement, accept the fact that you're human, be relieved you're not perfect and see the humor in your imperfections.

Some people avoid the possibility of failure as if it's the ultimate catastrophe. It's not failure, but rather fear-based avoidance that ravages a person's life.

What is malignant to the human spirit is not fear, but the capitulation to fear.

Taking risks and making courageous decisions are integral in paving the path to your personally-defined goals.

You have a choice about how you view, react to and utilize change. You can be afraid, hoping that very little will be different from what you've come to expect. Or you can welcome change as one of your best allies. Either way, changes will occur whether you like it or not.

Living in the present avails us the opportunity to be powerful and successful on our own behalf, to embrace the possibilities, and to become wise, insightful and connected in relationships.

~S Esonis

It is best to keep our lives calm and unruffled.  This is the task in order to acquire peace.  No harboring disturbing thoughts.  No matter what fears, worries, or resentments there are, try to think of constructive things, until calmness comes.

It's not what you do or how well you do it, It's how you feel about doing it.

If you don't have the power to change yourself, then nothing will change around you.

--Anwar Sadat

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste the experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.  

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Love me or Hate me – I’m still gonna shine!

Your every experience programs your response to future experiences, until you choose the experiences in the world that confirm a belief system.  One way to define yourself, then, is in terms of your beliefs.  Sometimes you misjudge the world, and your core beliefs are challenged, if not shattered.  Notice that when your reality changes your beliefs and confronts you with the possibility that you will give up those beliefs, you feel betrayed.  All loss creates a sense of betrayal.  When loss or other upheaval ruptures your beliefs, you no longer exist in the same way—but you are provided with the possibility of a new beginning.

Listen to every prompting of honor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

How we would all love to be honored! Then we would feel good about ourselves. Honor implies getting a medal, riding in the head car in a parade, or being recognized for some grand achievement.  In these ways, honor is often publicly expressed.

Yet, far more often, honor is expressed by the private exercise of moderation, courage and love.  And these virtues are almost always demonstrated by frequent small sacrifices. 

Holding back the negative word when everyone else is throwing the stone is a form of honor.

We demonstrate honor when we reject a second, or third helping of food when we are already comfortably full, or when we exercise when we don’t really feel like it.

Such sacrifices earn us the kind of medals we wear on the inside, rather than the outside.

Honor is on old fashioned concept these days, yet the foundation of self-esteem. And it is gained by willingness to sacrifice life things many times over.

The honor we bestow is nothing compared to the honor we earn.
