Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life’s best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.
What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.
The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move. Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true.
Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It’s leadership.
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.
Perfection in any endeavor is an aiming point. Let the desire for it push you, but don’t let the absence of it stop you.
Every moment spent in negativity is paid for with something truly priceless. That something is life.
Live each moment from your own inspiration, not from your desire to look good in the eyes of others.
The fundamental challenge of achieving anything you wish is first to convince yourself to do it. Once you are totally convinced of its value, you’ll find a way to get it done.
The way to transform your immense inner value into outer riches is by giving it freely and authentically to others.
The quality of your commitments will determine the course of your life.
Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events.
Let each moment be guided by positive purpose. And let your whole life express the beauty of who you truly are.
Truth is just as essential to nourishing the mind as food is to nourishing the body. The more fully you live each moment in truth, the more powerful and effective those moments will be.
Adversity is an effective, thorough and highly personalized teacher.
Be wary of those who seek to steal your dream. Be even more wary of those who seek to tell you what your dream should be.
So go ahead and face that fear, make that effort, move forward into new territory and fully live the grand possibilities with which you’re blessed. Boldly face life, and you’ll find it to be better than you ever imagined.
Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open.
You are what you are most profoundly thankful for, and what you love.
When you think you know it all, there’s not much that you’ll learn.
