Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment.
Self-image | Maxwell Maltz
One of the reasons it has seemed so difficult for a person to change his habits, his personality, or his way of life, has been that heretofore nearly all efforts at change have been directed to the circumference of the self, so to speak, rather than to the center.
circumference of the self | Maxwell Maltz
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep quotes | self emerges
The soul who meditates on the Self is content to serve the Self and rests satisfied within the Self; there remains nothing more for him to accomplish.
Bhagavad Gita – Soul, Self, Meditation
They, whose mind and intellect are absorbed in the Self, who remain firmly attached with the Self, who have Self as their supreme goal, whose sins have been destroyed by the knowledge, do not take birth again.
Bhagavad Gita – Self, Sin
A man’s own self is his friend. A man’s own self is his foe.
Bhagavad Gita – Self
Just by being ourselves we are borne toward a destiny far beyond anything we could imagine. It is enough to know that the being I nourish inside me is the same as the Being that suffuses every atom of the cosmos.
Deepak Chopra – Being, Self
It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one’s own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.
George Eliot – Self, Egoism
The essential self is innocent, and when it tastes its own innocence knows that it lives for ever.
