“Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people. Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life. Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up. The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsBelieveWellsImportantSelfFeelingsParentUnderstandingLevelsAttitudeInfluenceSelf EsteemAcceptancePersonalityHealthyDeterminedAcceptedBest WayEsteemSelf AcceptanceSiblingInfancyPeople In Your LifeStraight UpUnderstanding Yourself Author:Brian Tracy
“One of the major changes in attitude that occurred in the world of art as we moved from the nineteenth into the twentieth century was that the twentieth century artist became more involved with personal expression than with celebrating exclusively the values of the society or the church. Along with this change came a broader acceptance of the belief that the artist can invent a reality that is more meaningful than the one that is literally given to the eye. I subscribe enthusiastically to this.” WorldArtRealityEyeArtistValuesBeliefGivenChurchAttitudeCenturyAcceptanceExpressionInvolvedMajorsMovedPhotographerMeaningfulCelebrateTwentieth CenturyMajor ChangePersonal Expression Author:Jerry Uelsmann
