More quotes by Nathaniel Branden
Either you will make your life work, or your life will not work.
Nathaniel Branden
As you grow in self-esteem, your face, manner, way of talking and moving will tend naturally to project the pleasure you take in being alive.
Nathaniel Branden
If you choose not to live self-responsibly, you count on others to make up your default. No one abjures self-responsibility on a desert island.
Nathaniel Branden
The natural inclination of a child is to take pleasure in the use of the mind no less than of the body. The child's primary business is learning. It is also the primary entertainment. To retain that orientation into adulthood, so that consciousness is not a burden but a joy, is the mark of the successfully developed human being.
Nathaniel Branden
For I to become we and yet remain I, is one of the great challenges of marriage.
Nathaniel Branden
Fear and pain should be treated as signals not to close our eyes but to open them wider.
Nathaniel Branden
Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.
Nathaniel Branden
The reputation you have with yourself - your self-esteem - is the single most important factor for a fulfilling life.
Nathaniel Branden
To live consciously means to seek to be aware of everything that bears on our actions, purposes, values, and goals—to the best of our ability, whatever that ability may be—and to behave in accordance with that which we see and know.
Nathaniel Branden
There is no value-judgment more important to a man--no factor more decisive in his psychological development and motivation--than the estimate he passes on himself.
Nathaniel Branden
Be careful what you say to your children. They may agree with you.
Nathaniel Branden
Self-acceptance is my refusal to be in an adversarial relationship to myself.
Nathaniel Branden
Respect starts with ourselves.
Nathaniel Branden
Set goals that don't feel all that easy, that challenge you, stimulate you, and give you a chance to stretch and push yourself. That is where the power of growth lies.
Nathaniel Branden
If we attach more importance to what other people believe than to what we know to be true - if we value belonging over being - we will not attain authenticity.
Nathaniel Branden
It is naive to think that self-assertiveness is easy. To live self-assertively--which means to live authentically--is an act of high courage. That is why so many people spend the better part of their lives in hiding--from others and also from themselves.
Nathaniel Branden
A goal without an action plan is a daydream.
Nathaniel Branden
Feel deeply to think clearly.
Nathaniel Branden
A woman in love will do almost anything for a man, except give up the desire to improve him.
Nathaniel Branden
There is only one reality - the reality knowable to reason. And if man does not choose to perceive it, there is nothing else for him to perceive if it is not of this world that he is conscious, then he is not conscious at all
Nathaniel Branden
