Just imagine that you are the person you want to be.
Once a person says, "This is who I really am, what I am all about, what I was really meant to do," it is easier to decide how to spend one's time.
Many risks fail because they were not taken in time. Too many risks are postponed until unnecessarily elaborate preparations are made. This does not mean that one should say, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! That is foolish and self-destructive. . . . But don't sit back waiting for the perfect moment. It almost never comes.
Take the best action toward your most important goal right now.
To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.
There is some place where your specialties can shine. Somewhere that difference can be expressed. It's up to you to find it, and you can.
The highest love a person can have for you is to wish for you to evolve into the best person you can be.
If your life is ever going to get better, you'll have to take risks. There is simply no way you can grow without taking chances.
Lists have always implied social order.
You are the only one who has to live your life.
When you respond to an unreasonable person by getting emotional, you give them victory. How do you manage unreasonable people? You dismiss them. Like shadows
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.
