Fear and pride block clear thinking.

Set boundaries to protect yourself, not to keep others out.

Hindsight is crystal clear, but foresight is like having cataracts.

Pride is the evil twin of self-esteem. Like evil and good, they are two sides of the same coin.

Self esteem is telling yourself the truth about the good in you. Pride is lying to yourself about the good in you.

To conquer the dragon of fear, you must have the courage to crawl into his mouth, thereby conquering both your fear of the dragon and the dragon.
