My advice to myself: Be yourself; there is no other you. Don't perform and achieve in order to accept and be happy with yourself.

Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it.
If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and his motives may not be the highest.
Thoughts become perception, perception becomes reality. Alter your thoughts, alter your reality.
Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow.
Experience is the only wealth.
Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
Dieu me pardonnera - c'est son metier.
