Your Philosophy of life shapes you more than anything else.
I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest.
Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.
For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.
But you people do not understand me, and I am afraid you never will.
The law of attraction is this: You don’t attract what you want. You attract what you are.
Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It’s not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.
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.
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.
You change the world by being yourself.
This morning did you wake up to an alarm clock or an opportunity clock?
Honesty and integrity are absolutely essential for success in life – all areas of life. The really good news is that anyone can develop both honesty and integrity.
You are the most influential person you will talk to all day.
I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.
If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
A shared life is a great life.
No matter how talented you are, not everyone is going to like you, but that’s life. Stay strong.
