Solid!

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I adore this concept. There will forever be people who disagree with you, speak out against you, fear or are jealous of you, and those people will inevitably do some pretty mean things to make that point. Others may question you and your intent because of falsehoods and gossip. When you walk the walk, and talk the talk, maintain a constant honesty and goodness . . . none of that will matter. You cannot force folks to believe certain things. You can only lead by example and be the best you there is. Inferiority is not an option, unless you give it roots.

Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~ Henry Ford

This is Norman Vincent Peale speak! Garbage in . . . garbage out! What bad you believe to be true; will almost always become true because, like inferiority, you've given it a nest and a place to take root. When you give yourself goals, obligations, passion, and a purpose . . . you will follow them. You will surprise yourself by rising to meet those challenges, fulfill those obligations, fan that passion; and succeed. Believe that you can!

God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily. ~ Author Unknown

Love this! And I live by it! If your good deeds are preceded by how you'll profit from them . . . they cease to be good deeds. To self-defecate is to break the first rule here. Giving freely of yourself and your time comes more easily than one might imagine; and the blessings that come from that giving are ten-fold that of the efforts put forth! Do not hinder yourself with hurting yourself. It's unproductive!

And so . . . in closing . . . put it all together and . . .

If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ~ Henry David Thoreau
