TOUGH ENOUGH: HOW TO MEET LIFE’S CHALLENGES THROUGH TRUE SELF-LOVE Excerpts from the book:
. . .I want you to have a love for yourself so strong, that you’ll be able to walk through fire! I want you to know a love that empowers you to rise above problems, fear, worry, and sorrow . . .
And when all is said and done, I want you to possess esteem for yourself that enables you to know joy, confidence, and peace.
. . . .If I seemed calm, it was because I was trying to figure things out, and I knew I needed to be peaceful in my mind in order to do that. . . .
I was calm too, because I was always aware that I was a part of an incredible universe, and I thought that meant I was important—just because I was here.
I wanted very much to believe in myself as a special part of this vast world, but I had to sift through a lot of nonsense first before believing in me could actually be possible . . .
When I asked myself the question that Sam had asked me (how do I want the world to change as a result of me being here), I quickly realized the effect that one person’s efforts could have on other people. . .
Of all the things we want most in life, I think happiness is at the top of the list. Isn’t that what we really want, is to just be happy? . . . So let’s explore the highly sensitive subject of what we feel, andhow we process our feelings . . .
