Neurosis Part II

I didn't include ALL of the text from my the self-help neuroses pamphlet. Compare with last post.

  1. You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself. - Galileo
  2. The secret of success is one who does not try to please everyone.
  3. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
  4. It's easier to stay thin than to lose weight.
  5. Imaginary worries are the hardest fears to overcome.
  6. The safest gamble in life is to take a chance on yourself.
  7. A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe.
  8. He who angers you conquers you. - Elizabeth Keany
  9. Let me open myself to the knowledge of wisdom.
  10. He who finds understanding, finds knowledge.
  11. Creative minds flourish in a tranquil environmen.
  12. He who gains victory over liquor is strong, but he who gains victory over himself is powerful.
  13. It is better to travel hopefully, than to arrive.
  14. The breadth of personal power is awesome. Today will be what I choose to make it. No more and no less.

8 validations to make me feel worthy:

I should have thought of that years ago... it is easier to stay thin than loose weight. Darn.

I love #11 because I -- that tricycle is not allowed in the house young man, and put on some pants! What's in your mouth? Spit that out now. Now! No, do not put that on the dog. Daisy go get in your bed. Hello? Hey, can I call you back? OK bye. Show me your good behavior please. Bob? Where are mama's keys? Well how did they get in her water bowl exactly? -- alright, sorry about that, what was I saying?

I love the saying ~He who angers you conquers you.~ How true, I need to keep this one in my memory banks.
