One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.
Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become.
I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake up and live!
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It’s yours.
Only do what your heart tells you.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
A goal properly set is halfway reached.
Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.
Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
Don’t smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
