The worst thing you can do is try to manipulate or control perceptions. It's impossible, and when you are found out the result is disastrous. Better to be transparent and play well with others so that when bad things happen you have a reservoir of good will to bank on.

You have to face things, have faith in what you do and go for it. Think, 'What's the worst that could happen?'

Let whatever is going to happen to me happen. I'm expecting the worst for myself and I'm resigned to it.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

The best thing you can learn from the worst times of your life is that it always gets better. It may take a month, a year, a decade, but it will get better if you leave yourself open to it.

Give yourself a chance to see how much better life will get. And it will get better.

You have to make the mistakes and have those failures in order to learn from them and grow and improve... But for me, the best way to combat any of that beating yourself up or overanalysing, the most important part is always to be prepared to the best of your ability.

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

As a writer, the worst thing you can do is work in an environment of fear of rejection.
