“It is extremely important to be able to make negative assertions. We must be able to say what is ‘not me’ in order to have a ‘me’. What we like has no meaning unless we know what we don’t like. Our yes has no meaning if we never say no. My chosen profession has no passion if ‘just anyone would do’. Our opinions and thoughts mean very little if there is nothing we disagree with.”
― Changes That Heal: How to Understand the Past to Ensure a Healthier Future
― Changes That Heal: How to Understand the Past to Ensure a Healthier Future
“Confidence is knowing who you are and not changing it a bit because of someone’s version of reality is not your reality.”
