  Stop blaming your spouse for your unhappiness, your parents for your lack of motivation, the economy for your social status, your childhood for your phobias, and anything else to which you assign blame points.

  You're the result of the choices you've made in your life.

        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.

    The person looking back at you in the mirror is the one you have to answer to every day.

  You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.

  Begin observing your thoughts, and notice if you're going in the wrong direction.

  You can, with conscious effort, make a U-turn with new thoughts.

  The two most unnecessary emotions in life are guilt and worry.

  The opposite of courage is not so much fear as it is conformity.

  One of the highest places you can get to is to be independent of the good opinion of other people.

  Did you ever notice how difficult it is to argue with someone who's not obsessed with being right?

  By referring to previous struggles and using them as reasons for not getting on with your life today, you're assigning responsibility to the past for why you can't be successful or happy in the present.

  If you find yourself being treated in a way you resent or that turns you into a victim, ask yourself this question:

    "What have I done to teach this person that this behavior is something I'm willing to tolerate?"

          Let go of your ego's need to be right.  When you're in the middle of an argument, ask yourself:  Do I want to be right or be happy?

  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.

  The highest form of ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about.
