Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Les Linet

Anxious people suffer from things that never happen.

Don't settle for crumbs. You deserve love that doesn't hurt.

Each time something bad happens, you can choose to be a victim... or you can choose to learn from it.

Learn to see yourself as a person with flaws but not as thoroughly flawed - and never flawed merely because someone says you are.

Failure does not mean that you are a failure.

No human ever deserves to be abused. Insist on it being stopped... because you are endowed with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Don't neglect yourself. Act in a manner that is truly healthy for you. If you need me, I will attempt to help you do so.

I would like very much to be of help. Because it is important to many people, I should emphasize, however, that I do not directly participate in any insurance plans. I can, of course, provide you with an insurance statement so that you might receive any reimbursement to which you are entitlled.
