"Open
your eyes, you will be amazed at what you see.
Open your ears, you will be amazed at what you hear.
Open your mind, you will be amazed at what you already know.
Open your mouth, you will be amazed at what you say.
Open your heart, you will be amazed at what you feel.
Open your soul, you
will be amazed at what you touch."

As I let go of my
feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath.
I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels
of suspicion and paranoia.
I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that
are someone else's fault.
Having control over myself is almost as good as having control over
others.
My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of self-judgment.
I honor my personality flaws for without them I would have no
personality at all.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious,
self-righteous people around me.
I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and
complain.
As I learn the innermost secrets of people around me, they reward me
in many ways to keep me quiet.
The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do
nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice
things.
I am at one with my duality.
Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots.
Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with
imaginary fears.
I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and
local laws.
Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no
sweeter words than "I told you so!"
False hope is better than no hope at all.
A good scapegoat is almost as good as a solution.
Who can I blame for my problems? Just give me a minute.... I'll find
someone.
The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy
is working.
I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.
Becoming aware of my character defects leads me naturally to the
next step of blaming my parents or children.
To have a successful relationship, I must learn to make it look like
I'm giving as much as I'm getting.
I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to
learn from them.
Before I criticize someone, I walk a mile in their shoes. That
way, if they get angry, they're a mile away and barefoot.
