We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.
When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.
Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.
If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.
You cannot change your future, but you can change your habits, and surely your habits will change your future.
Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you, but to help you realise your hidden potential and power, let difficulties know that you too are difficult.
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.
You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself be.
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
While there is life, there is hope.
How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.
Beauty begins in the moment you decide to be yourself.
If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.
