“The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptan...” — Nathaniel Branden Quote

“The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.”

“Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause.”

“I cannot remember a time when the question of why people behave as they do was not intensely interesting to me. The desire to understand was very important. When I was young, I was aware of the fact that much of the time, the reasons a person gave for his actions were not the actual reasons.”

“Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.”

“You can't change who you are, but you can change what you have in your head, you can refresh what you're thinking about, you can put some fresh air in your brain.”

“Don't change on me. Don't extort me unless you intend to do it forever.”
