Quote by Brian Tracy

We feel good about ourselves to the exact degree we feel in control of our lives.

We feel good about ourselves to the exact degree we feel in

Summary

This quote suggests that our self-esteem and happiness are directly tied to the amount of control we perceive ourselves to have over our lives. When we feel like we have power over our choices, actions, and outcomes, we tend to have a positive image of ourselves. On the contrary, if we feel helpless or dependent on external factors, our self-esteem may decline. It emphasizes the importance of personal agency and the belief that we can shape our own lives to experience fulfillment and contentment.

A very intimate sense of the expressiveness of outward things, which ponders, listens, penetrates, where the earlier, less developed consciousness passed lightly by, is an important element in the general temper of our modern poetry.

Mutual respect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one's own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.
