Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.
Life does not owe you anything, because life has already given you everything.
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.
When you do the right thing, enjoy it! When you take positive actions, enjoy them. After all, they are leading you toward positive results. Pat yourself on the back. Truly enjoy the fact that you’re making positive progress, and the negative temptations will have no power over you.
Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.
Achievement does not require extraordinary ability. Achievement comes from ordinary abilities applied with extraordinary persistence.
Today is plenty; right now is enough. Tomorrow will come in good time. Until it does, live the depth of now.
Don’t let the silly little dramas of each day get you down. For you are here to do great things.
Remember why you started, remember where you’re headed, think of how great it will be to get there, and keep going.
There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.
Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.
Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You’re able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment.
Don’t waste time on excuses. Just get it done.
Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such.
It doesn’t matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it.
There are very real obstacles and challenges to any course of action. And there’s no need to add to them, by making up obstacles of your own. Unchain yourself from the bondage of your own thinking.
Welcome those big, sticky, complicated problems. In them are your most powerful opportunities.
