Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.
Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.
Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events.
The way to transform your immense inner value into outer riches is by giving it freely and authentically to others.
Accomplishment comes from making positive efforts, even in the face of negative circumstances.
Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Dare to visualize a world in which your most treasured dreams have become true.
What you are longing for is longing for you.
You may very well have good reasons for resentment, frustration and anger. But that doesn't mean those negative responses are good for you, or that you must choose them.
Meaning is found not in the rewards, for they are only tokens. Seek not to have the gold medal. Instead, seek to be the person who can win the gold medal. It is in the quest that you'll find the fulfillment which the reward represents.
Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.
Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.
The sooner you act, the bigger difference you can make.
Remember why you started, remember where you're headed, think of how great it will be to get there, and keep going.
Dreams are unrealistic, impractical, demanding - and absolutely essential to living a rich and fulfilling life.
There are very real obstacles and challenges to any course of action. And there's no need to add to them, by making up obstacles of your own. Unchain yourself from the bondage of your own thinking.
Your level of achievement will rise to meet the level of your purpose.
Be thankful for it all. And beyond your many blessings, will be many, many more.
What you hold in your heart, you will see in your world.
Step confidently forward in the precisely the direction that is the most challenging to you. Because in that same direction, you'll also find what is most rewarding to you.
