Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.
Hugh Prather

Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risks on new behavior, trying new ways of 'being myself', so that I can see who it is I want to be.
Hugh Prather
Image
Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly.
