Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think you can be good in life without acknowledging the part of you that isn't good.
That was something that I learned: It's actually okay if the way that I do my best is when I'm treated well.
Sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad. And I'm tired of making other people feel good about themselves.
Some people are more fluid than others at just being themselves and recognizing what's good about themselves.
When you take care of yourself, you're a better person for others. When you feel good about yourself, you treat others better.
Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.
I'm fine with being a little bit of an instigator.
If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.
As long as you know, within yourself, that you're no better than anyone else out there, you're OK.
To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say.
