It's Okay To Make Mistakes.

The Most Paradoxical Aspect Of Neurotic Shame Is That It Is The Core Motivator Of The Superachieved And The Underachieved, The Star And The Scapegoat, The Righteous And The Wretched, The Powerful And The Pathetic.

Healthy Shame Is An Emotion That Teaches Us About Our Limits. Like All Emotions, Shame Moves Us To Get Our Basic Needs Met.

I Define A Good Person As Somebody Who Is Fully Conscious Of Their Own Limitations. They Know Their Strengths, But They Also Know Their Shadow - They Know Their Weaknesses. In Other Words, They Understand That There Is No Good Without Bad. Good And Evil Are Really One, But We Have Broken Them Up In Our Consciousness. We Polarize Them.

It's Essential To Tell The Truth At All Times. This Will Reduce Life's Pain. Lying Distorts Reality. All Forms Of Distorted Thinking Must Be Corrected.
