Always let your reach exceed your grasp.
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.
Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.
Who is of so little faith that in a moment of great disaster or heartbreak has not called to his God?
Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.
I need not wait for I have the power to choose my own destiny.
I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools.
In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.
First, recognize that you are not a sheep who will be satisfied with only a few nibbles of dry grass or with following the herd as they wander aimlessly, bleating and whining, all of their days. Separate yourself now from the multitude of humanity so that you will be able to control your own destiny. Remember that what others think and say and do need never influence what you think and say and do.
I will persist until I succeed!
Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.
I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it hurts today.
Each day will be triumphant only when your smiles bring forth smiles from others.
