Ask yourself every morning, ‘how can I increase my service today?’
It is in the expectations of happiness that much of happiness itself is found. And it takes courage to expect happiness.
The key that unlocks energy is desire. It's also the key to a long and interesting life. If we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.
Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.
Your rewards, all the years of your life, will be in precise proportion to your service. You are here to serve others, just as they serve you.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.
You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.
Do, each day, all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork-or to rush blindly into your work, trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible amount of time. Don't try to do tomorrow's-or next week's-work today. It's not so much the number of the things you do but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that counts. . . . you need only to succeed in the small tasks of each day. This makes a successful day. With enough of these, you have a successful week, month, year-and lifetime.
We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
You are now, and you do become, what you think about.
The picture you have of yourself, your self-esteem, will have a profound effect on the way you see the world and the way your world sees you.
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.
Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service.
If your attitude toward the world is good, you will obtain good results. If your attitude is excellent, excellent will your results.
