What you do every day matters more than what you do from time to time.
Worthless. Stupid. These are the words I grew up hearing. They’re the words I try to outrun, because if I let them in, they might stay there and grow and fill me up and in, until the only thing left of me is worthless stupid worthless stupid worthless stupid freak. And then there’s nothing to do but run harder and fill myself with other words: This time will be different. This time, I will stay awake.

Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s self-esteem.
Time is not precious at all because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the only point that is out of time: The Now. That is really precious. The more you concentrate on the past and future time, the more you will lose the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Today, I will not wait for others to see and care; I will take responsibility for being aware of my pain and problems, and caring about myself.
When we cannot change the situation we face, the challenge is to change ourselves.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is too. Don’t overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself.
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Don’t be confused by what looks like luck to you. Lucky people don’t make successful people; people who completely commit themselves to success seem to get lucky in life.
