Life truly is a journey, and the less baggage we carry the easier the ride.
There are two reasons why people fail. One is irresponsibility. The second is fear.
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
Email is the greatest thing.
Many who resort to crime ultimately can't read or write.
Making mistakes doesn't mean that what you did was a failure, or the wrong take. It was just a 'mis-take.' You need to go back and do another take. In each take there is a lesson.
In some areas I am more noted for reading then I am for cookies!
You may not be responsible for getting knocked down. But you're certainly responsible for getting back up.
Commitment is the match that lights the fire.
Respect yourself as well as others; make commitments, not excuses, and make every day a fun day.
It's vital to be growing through your life rather than going through your life. The object is not to change other people or situations; it's to do the inner work they stimulate.
For me, giving thanks is a sign of appreciation and gratitude that also brings about a deep sense of peace.
It's so important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it, under any circumstances. Because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you searching for the answers, and then pretty soon you get it.
It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it.
