*As I let go of my shoulds and feelings of guilt, I can get 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.

*I no longer need to punish, deceive or compromise myself. Unless, of course,
I want to stay employed.

*In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.

*Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others.

*My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment.

*I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more.

*I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all.

*Joan of Arc heard voices too.

*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 the people around me, they reward me in
many ways to keep me quiet.

*When someone hurts me, forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly
as gratifying.

*The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do
nicethings for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things.

*All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts.

*I am at one with my duality.

*I will strive to live each day as if it were my 40th birthday.

*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 nicer than no hope at all.

*A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.

*Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the bedroom.

*Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future?

*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 to the next step - blaming my parents.

*To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm
giving as much as I'm getting.

*To understand all is to fear all.
