Always concentrate on the most valuable use of your time. This is what separates the winners from the losers. Self-esteem is the reputation you have with yourself.
All skills are learnable.
Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
To me defeat in anything is merely temporary. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.
Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence.
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.
It isn’t work that makes you tired, it’s your mental attitude.
Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.
If it can be solved, there’s no need to worry, and if it can’t be solved, worry is of no use.
Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.
View life as a continuous learning experience.
There is a direct relationship between joy and effort. The joy of success is in ratio to the amount of effort expended to achieve it.
The only limits on human achievement are self-imposed.
It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.
Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.
Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind.
When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it’s just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says: it can’t be done.
Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.
