Get Out of Your Head<\/em>: Quotes: Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following quotes from Get Out of Your Head <\/em>will help you better understand the key concepts and advice from the book. Here are the nine best quotes from Get Out of Your Head:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t curl up on our couches, read the pages of a book, pray, and simply will our minds to change. God is concerned not only with the posture of our hearts but also with the people on each of our arms. In terms of fulfilling our mission in this life, we can\u2019t do anything worthwhile alone.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The truth opposing the lie of self-esteem is<\/a> that real and lasting joy only comes from choosing God and other people over yourself. God didn\u2019t create you to be the center of your own world. What\u2019s important isn\u2019t for you to be empowered but for you to rest in his power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bear in mind that although \u201cserving others\u201d may sound clear enough, as a strategy for defeating self-importance<\/a> it\u2019s inseparable from choosing<\/em> others over yourself, which is a subtler thing. There are various ways to make this choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you and I choose to believe a lie about ourselves, it\u2019s one of these three lies we believe: I\u2019m helpless. I\u2019m worthless. I\u2019m unlovable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
