Zitat des Tages von Nathaniel Branden:
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.
There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.
Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender - not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.
Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss.
In a world in which the total of human knowledge is doubling about every ten years, our security can rest only on our ability to learn.
A woman in love will do almost anything for a man, except give up the desire to improve him.
Self-esteem is a powerful force within each of us... Self-esteem is the experience that we are appropriate to life and to the requirements of life.
Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause.
To love a person is to know and love the person. But we can pick up an enormous amount about another human being just by exchanging a couple of sentences. It's not yet knowledge; it's an intuition that motivates you to want to find out more.
Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.
The United States was the first country in the history of the world to be consciously created out of an idea - and the idea was liberty.
If we are happy within ourselves, we don't accept or demand that our partner should fulfill every need. We need to be comfortable with our own company.
