“If someone can show you your mistake in any thought or action, gladly change. Let your goal be to seek the truth, which you shouldn’t let harm you. The harm is to continue in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.”

“Nothing of true worth gets its quality from praise. The structural quality of a house is not determined by praise, and the strength of a wall isn’t determined by how many people applaud its creation—the same goes for life. The quality of life is not dependent on how many people approve and praise your path any more than the quality of a roof is based on the words spoken about it. A good life does not require praise from others.”

“Do not constantly disparage yourself or repeat negative thoughts to excess, doing so is a sure way to manifest those thoughts into reality. For as you think, so you become. If you think you’re a good-for-nothing, you’ll act like a good-for-nothing, and you’ll treat yourself like a good-for-nothing, and eventually you’ll be good for nothing. The same is true in the opposite direction—think you’re capable of living a good life, you will act capable of living a good life, and soon you will live a good life.”
― M.T.L., The 44 Laws of Peace

“The upside to someone breaking a promise to you is that it's their character that is at stake, not yours. However, when you break a promise to yourself, it’s much more than your character that’s at stake, it’s your life.”
― M.T.L., The 44 Laws of Peace
