We are a product of what we tell ourselves, what we believe, and the actions we take.

We must be careful of what we tell ourselves. 

Paying attention to how we respond to compliments can tell us a lot about ourselves.  

Can we receive them gratefully, or do we minimize them?

Learning to feel good about ourselves is what this episode about. 

These tools that help me build my self-worth and self-esteem.

Life is a series of decisions and consequences. 

It's okay to act despite the consequences if you are willing to pay the price.

Sometimes that price can lead you to desperation. 

Only through desperation do some people seek a Power greater than themselves. 

And that's a blessing.

If you want peace of mind, it's a good idea to focus on yourself.

Focusing on what others are doing is a setup.

Our mind gives us a destructive pattern to live in.

We must break that pattern if we want to live joyous and free. 

Keeping our side of the street clean does just that. 

It reminds us we only have power over ourselves.

When we get to recovery, our thinking is still insane. 

We face a tough decision once the drugs are gone.

Addicts have to deal with what took them to the drugs. 

Changing our lifestyle maybe even as hard as it was to quit using. 

We learn not to act on negative feelings to recover.

God wants the best for you. 

He's not going to deliver it to you. 

You have to be willing to put in the work to get it. 

If you want something different you have to be willing to do something differently. 

If nothing changes then nothing changes. 

When it comes to the battle between intending and action, action wins all the time.

The best way to get a good understanding of ourselves is by becoming aware of our inner child. 

When we aren't aware of our inner child, we look for others to heal us or complete us. 

The 12 steps take us back to our childhood experiences which had an impact on our development and beliefs. 

This process starts our inner healing. 

Sadly, without knowing ourselves on this level, many never outgrow the self-centeredness of a child.

In relationships, seek to understand rather than strive to be understood. 

A mistake people often make in relationships is looking for similarities. 

When they don't live up to our expectations, this causes us to blame others for our unhappiness. 

Loving ourselves and appreciating our differences is the antidote to our self-centered fears.
