Albert Ellis

Albert Ellis
For that again, is what all manner of religion essentially is: childish dependency.
Albert Ellis
You largely constructed your depression. It wasn't given to you. Therefore, you can deconstruct it.
Albert Ellis
Even when people act nastily to you, don't condemn them or retaliate.
Albert Ellis
Failure doesn't have anything to do with your intrinsic value as a person.
Albert Ellis
Whatever may be, I am still largely the creator and ruler of my emotional destiny.
Albert Ellis
Stop shoulding on yourself
Albert Ellis
Needing leads to bleeding - to almost all inevitable suffering.
