“Cheerful people don't get frustrated, hurt, or rejected–though they create those feelings in the people attempting to stop them.”

“We judge ourselves by our intentions but others by their actions. We tend to think other people's mistakes are caused by character flaws while our mistakes are due to situational factors. Our good behavior is attributable to fundamental traits while other people's is temporary and situational. Thus we own our strengths and disavow our weaknesses. This is a big obstetrical to overcoming self-destruction behavior, it justifies all our attempts to deny or put off our need to change and rationalizes the consequences of our actions.”
