Hang on the walls of your mind the memory of your successes. Take counsel of your strength, not your weakness. Think of the good jobs you have done.

Hang these pictures on the walls of your mind and look at them as you travel the roadway of life.

The thing is, allies is people who are friends, people you can rely on in the struggle. You're not always going to agree with your allies.
