Some sage advice from Indy!
All I would tell people is to hold onto what was individual about themselves, not to allow their ambition for success to cause them to try to imitate the success of others. You've got to find it on your own terms.

Don't die with your music still in you. -- Dr. Wayne Dyer
"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." --- Carlos Castaneda
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." --- Buddha

Borrowing from TRAVELNISTA and her Halloween blog on temptation:
“Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall.” William Shakespeare
Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it. ~Thomas Jefferson
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself. ~Abraham Joshua Heschel
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. ~Buddha
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life. - The Bible

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. - Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1st Inaugural Address, March 4, 1933
This is another of my fav quotes, I have this and the one Phyllis quoted memorized.
