Trust yourself and Be Prepared!
When I consider the psychological problems that are presented to me. I use these “filters”.
Trust yourself
You know yourself better than anyone else ever can. It’s true, of course, that others will know more about the treatments or techniques you might choose to help you sort out your dilemmas. But no one knows more about you than you do.
Be prepared for change and expect to encounter problems throughout your life
When you’re faced with a problem, do not despair. Whenever you encounter resistance, it’s merely proof that you’re alive and active, and it probably means your life is an interesting one. Only inanimate objects and the dead remain the same and never face problems. Whatever you try to do to solve your problems will teach you something, whether or not you succeed.
