About This Quote

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to feel good about yourself. When you accept yourself without judgement, you stop fearing the future and the past, you stop being scared of failing or being rejected because then you can see that there's nothing to fear.
