For the rational psychologically healthy man the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his control over reality. For the neurotic the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality.
Nathaniel Branden
Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.
Nathaniel Branden
Your life is important. Honor it. Fight for your highest possibilities.
Nathaniel Branden
Most of us are capable of more than we believe.
Nathaniel Branden
To persevere with the will to understand in the face of obstacles is the heroism of consciousness.
Nathaniel Branden
It sounded, I told him, as if he had never learned to balance projecting goals into the future with appreciating and living in the present....To the extent that our goal is to "prove" ourselves or ward off the fear of failure, this balance is difficult to achieve. We are too driven. Not joy but anxiety is our motor.But if our aim is self-expression rather than self-justification, the balance tends to come more naturally. We will still need to think about its daily implementation, but the anxiety of wounded self-esteem will not make the task nearly impossible.
Nathaniel Branden
Of all the judgements we pass, none is as important as the one we pass on ourselves.
Nathaniel Branden
Sometimes the path to higher self-esteem is lonely and frightening. We cannot fully know in advance how much more satisfying our lives will be. But the more we are willing to experience and accept the many aspects of who we are, the richer our inner worlds, the greater our resources, the more appropriate we feel to the challenges and opportunities of life. Also, it is more likely that we will find - or create - a style of existence that will meet our individual needs.
