Game of Thrones S01E01 -
"Never forget what you are" - "Let me give you some counsel,
bastard," Lannister said. "Never forget what you are, for surely the
world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.
Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."

A hard lesson is to accept myself as you are & own it
all. Then when a sneak attack broadsides me with something I feel shameful from
my past, I can evenly & simply say, yes, I was that brat then, & I have
worked to change that brat side of me. Or, if I truly do not remember whatever
I am being accused of, I can simply say that I do not have any memory of that,
but it does not reflect me now. Or, if it a slam against my body or something
obvious, such as my size, I can smile and say, Yes, I am fat. Thank you for noticing.
