I Used To Sleep On The Floor Next To The Bed, Because I Believed That I Didn't Even Deserve A Bed To Sleep In. And Then, One Morning, A Cockroach Crawled Onto My Leg. I Looked At It, And Suddenly I Awoke From A Kind Of Hypnotic Trance In Which I Had Been All My Life.

I Like To Say It Was Born Out Of Laughter.

You Can't Drop Concepts. You Can Only Shine A Little Flashlight On Them As You Do Inquiry, An You See That What You Thought Was True Wasn't. And When The Truth Is Seen, There's Nothing You Can Do To Make The Lie True For You Again.

We're All Looking For Love, In Our Confusion, Until We Find Our Way Back To The Realization That Love Is What We Already Are.

Some Children Are Afraid To Die Because Their Parents Are Afraid To Die. My Own Children Have Come To Understand That It's Totally Okay With Me If They Die. They Don't Have To Live For My Sake.

In The Fall, You Don't Grieve Because The Leaves Are Falling And Dying. You Say, "isn't It Beautiful!" Well, We're The Same Way. There Are Seasons. We All Fall Sooner Or Later. It's All So Beautiful. And Our Concepts, Without Investigation, Keep Us From Knowing This. It's Beautiful To Be A Leaf, To Be Born, To Fall, To Give Way To The Next, To Become Food For The Roots. It's Life, Always Changing Its Form And Always Giving Itself Completely. We All Do Our Part. No Mistake.

Do You Know Anyone Who Hasn't Changed His Mind? This Door Was A Tree, Then It Will Be Firewood For Someone, Then It Will Return To Air And Earth. We're All Like That, Constantly Changing. It's Simply Honest To Report That You've Changed Your Mind When You Have. When You're Afraid Of What People Will Think If You Speak Honestly, That's Where You Become Confused.

If You Are An Enemy To Your Own Mind, Other People Have To Become Enemies Too, Sooner Or Later. Until You Understand, Until You Can Love The Thoughts That Appear In Your Mind, Then You Can Love The Rest Of Us. You Work With The Projector -the Mind - Not The Projected World. I Can't Really Love You Until I Question The Mind That Thinks It Sees You Outside Itself . . .

It's Not Easy To Find Your Own Way When You Believe That You Need Love, Approval, Appreciation, Or Anything From Your Family. It's Particularly Hard When You Want Them To See Things Your Way.

Every (stressful Thought) Is A Variation On A Single Theme: This Shouldn't Be Happening. I Shouldn't Be Having This Experience. God Is Unjust. Life Isn't Fair.

Until The Mind Is Open, The Heart Stays Closed. The Open Mind Is The Key To The Open Heart.

My Mother Became A Believer, And Then I Became A Believer. But When I Was 43 Years Old, I Began To Think For Myself, Somehow, By Fluke And By Grace. And I Thought, "oh, My. I Was So Mistaken." The World Isn't What I Believed It To Be. I Am Not What I Believed Me To Be, And Neither Is Anyone.

There's No Way That A Clear Mind Can Live An Unhappy Life.

When We Believe In Our Thoughts, When We Tell Ourselves A Story, We Suffer. 'my Husband Doesn't Respect Me.' 'i Should Be Thinner.' Those Are Stories. When There's No Story, There's No Suffering.

I Know That Even At Moments Of Apparent Danger, Nothing Is Out Of Order Or Lacking, Other Than Our Own Unquestioned Thoughts About Those Moments.

Low Self-esteem Is Not Possible When You Understand The Nature Of Everything. Depression Is Not Possible. The Universe Is Absolutely Friendly.

If Someone Says, "katie, You Are Out Of Order," Over Something I've Said, Or, "katie, You Are Wrong," If I Defend Myself Or Justify Myself, Then I Have Just Started The War.

So, How Do You Get Back To Heaven? To Begin With, Just Notice The Thoughts That Take You Away From It. You Don't Have To Believe Everything Your Thoughts Tell You. Just Become Familiar With The Particular Thoughts You Use To Deprive Yourself Of Happiness. It May Seem Strange At First To Get To Know Yourself In This Way, But Becoming Familiar With Your Stressful Thoughts Will Show You The Way Home To Everything You Need.

Love Is Action. It's Clear, It's Kind, It's Effortless, And It's Irresistible.

Self-realization Is Not Complete Until It Lives In Action.

I've Heard People Say That They Cling To Their Painful Thoughts Because They're Afraid That Without Them They Wouldn't Be Activists For Peace. “if I Feel Peaceful,” They Say, “why Would I Bother Taking Action At All?” My Answer Is “because That's What Love Does.” To Think That We Need Sadness Or Outrage To Motivate Us To Do What's Right Is Insane. As If The Clearer And Happier You Get, The Less Kind You Become. As If When Someone Finds Freedom, She Just Sits Around All Day With Drool Running Down Her Chin. My Experience Is The Opposite. Love Is Action.

The Pain Shows You What's Left To Investigate.

All The Advice You Ever Gave Your Partner Is For You To Hear

To Think That I Know What's Best For Anyone Else Is To Be Out Of My Business. Even In The Name Of Love, It Is Pure Arrogance, And The Result Is Tension, Anxiety, And Fear. Do I Know What's Right For Me? That Is My Only Business. Let Me Work With That Before I Try To Solve Problems For You.

The Worst Loss You've Ever Experienced Is The Greatest Gift You Can Have.

We Never Make A Decision. When The Time Is Right, The Decision Makes Itself.

We Fear Only What We Haven’t Understood.

It Doesn´t Come Later. Everything You´re Supposed To Do Is Here Right Now.

I Didn't Fight Or Shame My Thoughts, I Questioned Them, And They Stopped Shaming Me.

If You Question Your Thoughts About When Your Son Is Not Healthy, You Come To See That You're The Only One You're Worried About. It's Like Without Him, You're Not Happy - So It's All About Your Happiness. You Want Him To Live For You - For Your Happiness.

Reality Doesn't Wait For Your Opinion, Vote, Or Permission, Sweetheart. It Just Keeps Being What It Is And Doing What It Does.

The Only Time We Suffer Is When We Believe A Thought That Argues With What Is. When The Mind Is Perfectly Clear, What Is Is What We Want.

It's For Each Of Us To Look At What We Really Do Believe - What Our Belief System Really Consists Of.

If You Argue Against Reality You Will Suffer.

When We Work With Our Thinking, Then To Have Great Wealth Is The Same As To Have Nothing. That's The Only Freedom.

Joy Is A Natural Way Of Being.

The Miracle Of Love Comes To You In The Presence Of The Uninterpreted Moment. If You Are Mentally Somewhere Else, You Miss Real Life.

I Have Never Experienced A Stressful Feeling That Wasn't Caused By Attaching To An Untrue Thought. Behind Every Uncomfortable Feeling, There's A Thought That Isn't True For Us.

Uncomfortable Feeling

I Came To See That There Was Nothing To Forgive, That I Was The One Who Caused My Own Problems.

The More You Reveal, The More You Have To Question And The Freer You Get. Until, Finally, You're Absolutely Exposed. And That Leaves You In A Fearless Position, Because You Can Work In The World Without The Fear Of Being Found Out. That Is Freedom.

We Suffer Only Until We Realize That We Can't Know Anything.

If You Knew How Important You Are, You Would Fragment Into A Billion Pieces And Just Be Light.

Freedom Is Our Birthright.

Sadness Isn't A Natural Response.

I Came To See That The World Is Always As It Should Be, Whether I Opposed It Or Not.

The Ego Is Terrified Of The Truth. And The Truth Is That The Ego Doesn't Exist.

People Don't Need Sudden Revelations. They Get What They Need When They Need It, Thought By Thought By Thought. It's A Constant Thing When The Mind Starts To Wake Up To Itself.

Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.

Even Breathing Is A Contribution.

What's Happening In The World Is A Natural Course Of Events.

Life Is Simple. Everything Happens For You, Not To You. Everything Happens At Exactly The Right Moment, Neither Too Soon Nor Too Late. You Don't Have To Like It... It's Just Easier If You Do.

Who Would You Be Without The Thought That Happiness Depends On Someone Else?

Here’s How A Child Listens: You Tell Him Something, And He Puts His Own Interpretation On What You Said. That’s What He Hears. No One Has Ever Heard You.

Questioning Our Stressful Thoughts, We Come To See They're Not True.

We All Begin To Do What We Can Do, Just Like We're Doing Now, To Clean Up The Planet And To Find Solutions Rather Than Fight. It Just Happens Everywhere.

If I Think The Environment In The World Needs To Be Cleaned Up, Let Me Clean Up My Own Environment. Let Me Clean Up The Environment In My Head - Let Me Work With That Pollution And That Ecosystem.

Nothing Outside You Can Ever Give You What You're Looking For.

It's Just A Constant Thing When The Mind Starts To Wake Up To Itself.

A Teacher Of Fear Can't Bring Peace On Earth. We Have Been Trying To Do It That Way For Thousands Of Years. The Person Who Turns Inner Violence Around, The Person Who Finds Peace Inside And Lives It, Is The One Who Teaches What True Peace Is. We Are Waiting For Just One Teacher. You're The One.

I Am A Lover Of What Is, Not Because I'm A Spiritual Person, But Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality. We Can Know That Reality Is Good Just As It Is, Because When We Argue With It, We Experience Tension And Frustration. We Don't Feel Natural Or Balanced. When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

The World Is Perfect. As You Question Your Mind, This Becomes More And More Obvious. Mind Changes, And As A Result, The World Changes. A Clear Mind Heals Everything That Needs To Be Healed. It Can Never Be Fooled Into Believing That There Is One Speck Out Of Order.

People Who Believe Their Unquestioned Thoughts Cannot See What Is Obvious And Directly In Front Of Their Faces At All Times, Because They Are Invested In What They Believe To Be True. As Long As They Live Out Of An Unquestioned Mind, They Must Continue To Argue With What They Believe Is Happening Rather Than The Reality Of What Is Really Happening.

Being Present Means Living Without Control And Always Having Your Needs Met.

Live In The Moment

Whenever You Think That Your Needs Are Not Being Met, You’re Telling The Story Of A Future

The World Is A Projection Of Our Thoughts - The Thoughts We Believe.

How Do I Know It Was Meant To Happen This Way? Because It Did.

Meant To Happen

If People Are Living Their Lives For Security And Comfort And Pleasure, Then Mind's Every Waking Moment Will Be Plotting Those Things. That's How It Stays Identified - As A Body, As A You.

I Havent Had A Single Thought For 26 Years. I Have Only Understanding. Its Somewhat Complicated To Understand That. Ive Hardly Ever Spoken About It. Youre In A State Of Total Peace Of Mind. A Kind Of Nirvana.

All Sadness Is A Tantrum.

I Think Our Children Are Afraid To Die Because We're Afraid To Die.

Do You Want To Be Right More Than You Want To Know The Truth? It's The Truth That Set Me Free. Acceptance, Peace, And Less Attachment To A World Of Suffering Are All Effects Of Doing The Work. They're Not The Goals. Do The Work For The Love Of Freedom, For The Love Of Truth.

I Think That's The Trick: Wanting What I Have.

The Only And Dearest Relationship Is The Mind's Relationship With Itself.

The World You Live In Is 100 Percent Your Own Responsibility. If You Don't Like Your World, It Doesn't Work To Say, "well, It's My Mother's Fault. She Taught Me How To Think."

If Our Stressful Thoughts Aren't True, What Does That Leave? It Leaves, "i Am Loveable" - The Very Thing I Could Never Make Myself Believe, Because "i'm Unloveable" Overrides It When The Chips Are Down.

Clarity Moves Much More Efficiently Than Violence Or Stress.

I Do Whatever I Can To Serve Peace. My Job Is The End Of Suffering.

It's Only Our Story That Keeps Us From Knowing That We Always Have Everything We Need.

The Perfect World Is Created When The Mind Is Free To See It.

The Moment It Begins To Question Itself, The Mind Becomes So Clear That It Starts Working With Itself Rather Than With The Body's Identification.

My Happiness Isn't Dependent On Anyone Else's.

Defense Is The First Act Of War.

We Do Not Mature Through Age. We Mature In Awareness.

I Could Go On And On About How The Statements And Concepts That Used To Depress Me Now Bring Me Joy, But That Is Not Easily Understood For People Who Think The Way I Used To Think And Believe What I Used To Believe.

Forgiveness Is Just Another Name For Freedom.

Happiness Is A Clear Mind. A Clear And Sane Mind Knows How To Live, How To Work, What Emails To Send, What Phone Calls To Make, And What To Do Do To Create What It Wants Without Fear.

When A Thought Appears Such As "do The Dishes" And You Don't Do Them, Notice How An Internal War Breaks Out... The Stress And Weariness You Feel Are Really Mental Combat Fatigue.

What I Invite People To Do Is To Look At Their Lives Just The Way That They Have Lived Them. Not To Change Anything, And Not To Do Positive Thinking At All.

Positive Thinking

No One Can Give You Freedom But You.

Freedom Of Expression

As We Watch The World Embrace The Olympics In The Coming Days, Let Us Remember Why The Modern Olympics Came Into Being: To Bring Nations Closer Together, To Have The Youth Of The World Compete In Sports, Rather Than Fight In War. As Long As We Believe Our Own War-driven Thoughts, There Will Always Be War, In Ourselves, In Our Families, And In Our World. As Long As We Believe Our Thoughts, There Will Always Be War.

If You Put Your Hand Into A Fire, Does Anyone Have To Tell You To Move It? Do You Have To Decide? No: When Your Hand Starts To Burn, It Moves. You Don’t Have To Direct It; The Hand Moves Itself. In The Same Way, Once You Understand, Through Inquiry, That An Untrue Thought Causes Suffering, You Move Away From It.

That's Where The Fear Comes From-from Your Uninvestigated Thoughts.

If I Had A Prayer, It Would Be This: "god, Spare Me From The Desire For Love, Approval, Or Appreciation. Amen."

When Your Mind Opens, The Whole World Falls Into Place.

Bottom Line Is, If Someone Says Something About Me And It Upsets Me, It's True.

You're Never Given More Pain Than You Can Handle. You Never, Ever Get More Than You Can Take.

Maybe Everything We've Ever Done Has Been For Love.

The Only Thing You Fear Is The Unreality That You Yourself Have Invented.

I Love What I Think, And I'm Never Tempted To Believe It.

We Begin To Not Be Human, As We've Known It, Any Longer. But To Be Just Creative Minds And Action, Whereas Right Now We're Confused Minds And Actions, And Our Environment Mirrors That Back To Us.

That's The Purpose Of Stress. It's A Friend. It's An Alarm Clock, Built In To Let You Know That It's Time To Do The Work.

The Mind Usually Says, “i Know, I Know, I Know.” But The “don’t-know Mind” Is Where Wisdom Lives.

You Are What Exists Before All Stories.

When You Think That Someone Or Something Other Than Yourself Needs To Change, You're Mentally Out Of Your Business.

I Would Go Out Into The Desert. The Desert Was My Teacher. I Didn't Know About Gurus And Wise People-i Wasn't A Reader.

When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

So, How Can We Live In Joy - And How Can We Know That We're Supposed To Live In Joy The Way People Tell Us To - When We're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness And Frustration And Anger And Alienation And Loneliness? When We're Believing Those Thoughts, We Think That's The World, Rather Than What We're Believing About The World. We're Like Lost Little Children.

Nothing Terrible Has Ever Happened Except In Our Thinking. Reality Is Always Good, Even In Situations That Seem Like Nightmares. The Story We Tell Is The Only Nightmare That We Have Lived.

I See The Goodness And Beauty In Everyone, And Everything Is A Gift Given For Me And For All Of Us. If You Don't Love It, Question Your Mind Until You Do.

When You Believe That Your Problem Is Caused By Someone Or Something Else, You Become Your Own Victim.

There Is Nothing That Isn't True If You Believe It; And Nothing Is True, Believe It Or Not.

To Exclude Anything That Appears In Your Universe Is Not Love. Love Joins With Everything. It Doesn't Exclude The Monster. It Doesn't Avoid The Nightmare - It Looks Forward To It.

How Do You React When You Think You Need People's Love? Do You Become A Slave For Their Approval?

Life Is Simple. Everything Happens For You, Not To You.

No-one Can Disappoint You, Only Your Thoughts About Them Can

When You Run In Fear, It's Square Into The Wall.

A Thought Is Harmless Unless We Believe It.

For Me, Everything Is God. Everything And Everyone. So It Was Just, God Needs Me Now, Now, Now.

Fear Has Only Two Causes: The Thought Of Losing What You Have Or The Thought Of Not Getting What You Want.

Without Our Stories, We Are Not Only Able To Act Clearly And Fearlessly, We Are Also A Friend, A Listener. We Are People Living Happy Lives. We Are Appreciation And Gratitude That Have Become As Natural As Breath Itself. Happiness Is The Natural State For Someone Who Knows That There's Nothing To Know And That We Already Have Everything We Need, Right Here Now.

You Would Be Amazed At Who People Are Once You Know Yourself.

You Are Your Only Hope, Because We're Not Changing Until You Do. Our Job Is To Keep Coming At You, As Hard As We Can, With Everything That Angers, Upsets, Or Repulses You, Until You Understand. We Love You That Much, Whether We're Aware Of It Or Not. The Whole World Is About You.

Judge Your Neighbor, Write It Down. Ask Four Questions, Turn It Around.

Who I Believed Myself To Be Was A Hopeless Case. I Would Wake Up In The Mornings And Notice I Was Still Alive And Breathing And Hate God, Hate Myself, Hate Life, And Contemplate Ways Of Killing Myself.

When You Srgue With Reality, You Lose, But Only 100% Of The Time.

The Person Who Finds Peace Inside And Lives It, Is The One Who Teaches What True Peace Is.

And As Long As We Believe What We Believe - Until That Is Questioned - There's No Progress As A Human Race. Again, We Still Have War. So, Effective Rehabilitation Is To Question What We Believe. When That Happens, Everyone Gets Out Of Prison.

The Work Is Four Questions And A Turnaround. The Work Is A Way To Identify And Question The Thoughts That Cause All The Suffering And Violence In The World. The Work Is A Very, Very Simple Process. It's For Anyone Who Can Answer A Question That Is Willing To. It Takes A Bit Of Willingness And An Open Mind.

I Use The Word Inquiry As Synonymous With The Work...inquiry Is A Way To End Confusion And To Experience Internal Peace, Even In A World Of Apparent Chaos. Above All Else, Inquiry Is About Realizing That All The Answers We Ever Need Are Always Available Inside Us.

If You Think The Cause Of Your Problem Is 'out There,' You'll Try To Solve It From The Outside. Take The Shortcut: Solve It From Within.

My Life Is A Contribution.

Our Parents, Our Children, Our Spouses, And Our Friends Will Continue To Press Every Button We Have, Until We Realize What It Is That We Don't Want To Know About Ourselves, Yet. They Will Point Us To Our Freedom Every Time.

I Am Never Unhappy, You Can Achieve That As Well.

You Don't Have To Feel Bad To Act Kindly. Love Doesn't Stand By, It Moves With The Speed Of Clarity.

I'm Most Inspired Whenever I Hear Of Even The Smallest Act Of Human Kindness.

Realizing That People Should Lie When They Do Makes Me A Little More Open-minded, A Little More Tolerant, When My Child Or My Partner Lies.

Placing The Blame Or Judgment On Someone Else Leaves You Powerless To Change Your Experience; Taking Responsibility For Your Beliefs And Judgments Gives You The Power To Change Them

If Your Happiness Depends On Your Children Being Happy, That Makes Them Your Hostages. So Stay Out Of Their Business, Stop Using Them For Your Happiness, And Be Your Own Happiness. And That Way You Are The Teacher For Your Children: Someone Who Knows How To Live A Happy Life.

Nothing Comes Ahead Of Its Time, And Nothing Ever Happened That Didn't Need To Happen.

People Try So Hard To Let Go Of Their Negative Behaviors And Thoughts, And It Doesn't Work, Or It Works Only For A Short Time. I Didn't Let Go Of My Negative Thoughts; I Questioned Them, And Then They Let Go Of Me, And So Did My Addictions And Depression.

Thought The Mind Can Justify Itself Faster Than The Speed Of Light, It Can Be Stopped Through The Act Of Writing.

Rather Than Understand The Original Cause-a Thought-we Try To Change The Stressful Feelings By Looking Outside Ourselves.

Who Cares If You're Enlightened Forever? Can You Just Get It In This Moment, Now?

Asking The Questions - That's What Changes Lives. Every Cell In Your Body Is Awake With Inquiry. And You Cannot Believe The Old Thoughts Again.

When You Become A Lover Of What Is, The War Is Over.

The World Is As You Perceive It To Be. For Me, Clarity Is A Word For Beauty. It’s What I Am. And When I’m Clear, I See Only Beauty. Nothing Else Is Possible.

An Uncomfortable Feeling Is Not An Enemy. It's A Gift That Says, "get Honest; Inquire." We Reach Out For Alcohol, Or Television, Or Credit Cards, So We Can Focus Out There And Not Have To Look At The Feeling. And That's As It Should Be, Because In Our Innocence We Haven't Known How. So Now What We Can Do Is Reach Out For A Paper And A Pencil, Write Thought Down, And Investigate.

Uncomfortable Feeling

It's Not The Problem That Causes Our Suffering; It's Our Thinking About The Problem.

I Can Find Only Three Kinds Of Business In The Universe: Mine, Yours, And God's.

I Believe In The Power Of Every Human Being To End Suffering.

When We're Not Defending And Justifying, And We're Being Very Still, Our Answers Can And Do Shock Us.

Mind Is Everything. There's Nothing That It's Not.

Your Most Intimate Relationship Is The One You Have With Your Thoughts.

Intimate Relationships

If I Think That Someone Else Is Causing My Problem, I'm Insane.

The World Is What You Believe It To Be, And It Changes As You Change.

Everyone Is A Mirror Image Of Yourself-your Own Thinking Coming Back To You.

The Last Story: God Is Everything, God Is Good.

After You've Been Doing Inquiry For A While, If You Have The Thought "she Doesn't Love Me," You Just Get The Immediate Turnaround With A Smile: "oh, I'm Not Loving Myself In This Moment."

The Mind Is So Tricky. It Will Say, "no One Cares. Is It True? Well, Someone Does. Let's See: So-and-so Doesn't Care. Well, Maybe They Do. Well, There Is Someone Who Doesn't Care." It Just Shifts And Shifts And Shifts, So It Can Keep All Of Its Concepts Intact.

The Work Always Leaves You With Less Of A Story. Who Would You Be Without Your Story? You Never Know Until You Inquire. There Is No Story That Is You Or That Leads To You. Every Story Leads Away From You. Turn It Around; Undo It. You Are What Exists Before All Stories. You Are What Remains When The Story Is Understood.

Thoughts Are Just What Is. They Appear. They're Innocent. They're Not Personal.

Thinking That People Are Supposed To Do Or Be Anything Other Than What They Are Is Like Saying That The Tree Over There Should Be The Sky. I Investigated That And Found Freedom.

I Love What I Think, And I'm Never Tempted To Believe It. Thoughts Are Like The Wind Or The Leaves On The Trees Or The Raindrops Falling. They're Not Personal, They Don't Belong To Us, They Just Come And Go. When They're Met With Understanding, They're Friends.

There's No Nightmare You Can't Wake Yourself Up From.

We All Think We Have Our Personal Favorites. But When I Say, "people Shouldn't Steal - Is It True?" Everyone In A Room Of, Let's Say, A Thousand People All Raise Their Hands And Say, "that's True."

Place Only Your Kindest Thoughts On Everything You Experience Today. Meet Yourself.

Reality Is Always The Story Of A Past, And What I Love About The Past Is—it's Over.

Every Mind Deserves To Be Free. When The Mind Is Free, That's The End Of Suffering.

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Give Me What I Wanted; I Started Giving It To Myself.

You Can’t Have Your Daughter As Long As You Have A Concept Of Her. When You Get Rid Of The Concept, You Meet Your Daughter For The First Time. That’s The Way This Works.

Insanity Is Arguing With Reality.

I Teach People To Question Their Thinking, And This Changes Their World.

Never Be Fooled Into Believing That There Is One Speck Out Of Order.

Hurt Feelings Or Discomfort Of Any Kind Cannot Be Cause By Another Person. No One Outside Me Can Hurt Me. That’s Not A Possibility. It’s Only When I Believe A Stressful Thought That I Get Hurt. And I’m The One Who’s Hurting Me By Believing What I Think. This Is Very Good News, Because It Means That I Don’t Have To Get Someone Else To Stop Hurting Me. I’m The One Who Can Stop Hurting Me. It’s Within My Power.

I Was Full Of Rage. My Self-esteem Was So Low That I Actually Slept On The Floor Every Night, Because I Didn't Believe I Deserved A Bed To Sleep In.

It's Not Your Job To Like Me - It's Mine

You Can Never Make Yourself Believe That You're Loveable, However Hard You Try, Because When The Chips Are Down What You Really Believe Rises To The Surface Of The Mind To Replace What You Want To Believe.
