You Have A Right To

The Desire For Self-esteem Without Integrity Is Like The Desire For Wealth Without Effort-a Longing For The Unearned.

To Attain "success" Without Attaining Positive Self-esteem Is To Be Condemned To Feeling Like An Imposter Anxiously Awaiting Exposure.

A Goal Without An Action Plan Is A Daydream.

Self-respecting Men And Women Think About The Consequences Of Their Actions-and Are Willing To Take Responsibility For Them.

It Is Easy Enough To Say, Be True To Your Values. But What If Your Values Are Irrational? Or What If The Virtues You Have Committed Yourself To Are So Much Against Human Nature That They Cannot Be Practiced Consistently? Be Careful Of What You Accept As Your Code Of Morality. Think Carefully About Whether Its Tenets Serve Your Life And Well Being. Exercise Critical Judgment. Realize How Much Is At Stake-your Life, Your Happiness, Your Self-esteem.
