Personality quotes - from my notebooks

Not to be lost in the crowd. Not to follow blindly like sheep. Not to be overlooked.

Multiple nature of personality. Not feeling myself, that wasn't really me. Did I do that? Jostling, competing characters. Some more constructive than others. Others destructive. Some diplomatic, some unhelpful.

Do things your way. Fine for you if you know what you are doing. But don't be unnecessarily stubborn or obstructive. You have to live with others just as you have to live with yourself.

You have got to know when to say no. It won't bite you. No is no more difficult to say than yes. Both have repercussions. But know that no is an option. You will be respected for it. But know your reasons for saying no, for not wanting to do a particular thing.

We're all fragile. There is a thin line between strength and weakness, action and inaction, progress and stagnation. Just know which side of the fence you want to start and play from.

The kindness of strangers is seen around us. Do we participate or are we an innocent but receiving bystander?

Feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready for action. Prepared for all that which life will throw at us.

How can you be sure? Feel, use your inner feelings and you will find what you are looking for.
