Focus on making yourself better, not thinking you are better.

You can't improve anything if you don't first know what needs to be improved.

You can't run from who you are. The best you can do is take who are you are and make the best YOU that you can be.

Refrain to-night;
And that shall lend a kind of easiness
To the next abstinence, the next more easy;
For use almost can change the stamp of nature,
And either master the devil or throw him out
With wondrous potency.

Without a goal, discipline is nothing but self-punishment.

Self acceptance is one of the most difficult and one of the most rewarding goals you can accomplish.
