Be thankful for what
you have; you'll end up having
more. If you concentrate on what you don't have,
you will never, ever have enough.
Oprah Winfrey
Character cannot be
developed in ease and quiet. Only through
experience of trial and suffering can
the soul be strengthened,
ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller
Dream lofty dreams,
and as you dream, so you shall become.
Your vision is the promise of what you
shall one day be;
your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
James Allen
Even if I don't reach
all my goals, I've gone higher
than I would have if I hadn't set any.
Danielle Fotopoulis
Failure should be our
teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary
detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying
nothing, doing
nothing, and being nothing.
Denis Waitley
Feeling grateful or
appreciative of someone or something
in your life actually attracts more of the
things that
you appreciate and value into your life.
Christiane Northrup
Finish each day and
be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no
doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it
well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old
nonsense.
I am only one, but
still I am one. I cannot do
everything, but still I can do something;
and
because I cannot do everything, I will
not refuse to do something that I can
do.
Helen Keller
I expect to pass
through this world but once. Any good,
therefore, that I can do or any kindness
I can show to
any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer
or
neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
Stephen Grellet
If everything is
smooth sailing right from the beginning, we cannot become people of substance
and character. By surmounting paining setbacks and obstacles, we can create a
brilliant history of triumph that will shine forever. That is what makes life
so exciting and enjoyable. In any field of endeavor, those who overcome
hardships and grow as human beings are advancing
towards success and victory in
life.
Daisaku Ikeda
In the depth of
winter, I finally learned that within
me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
It is one of the most
beautiful compensations of life,
that no man can sincerely try to help another
without helping himself.
Ralph Waldo
It's not what you do
once in a while, it's what you do
day in and day out that makes the difference.
Jenny Craig
Let us give something
to each person we meet: joy, courage, hope, assurance, or philosophy, wisdom, a
vision for the future.
Let us always give something.
Daisaku Ikeda
Love grows by giving.
The love we give away
is the only love we keep. The only way to retain
love is
to give it away.
Elbert Hubbard
If one advances
confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life
which one has imagined, one will meet
with a success unexpected in common
hours.
Henry David Thoreau
Taking action is how
you GIVE your gift and
live a life of true service to yourself and others.
And
that doesn't mean that your life's work
has to be something that seems grand
and noble.
The real key to being of service and living your
purpose is simply
to do what you LOVE
to do whatever it may be.
Rebecca Fine
The credit belongs to
those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great
enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who
at the best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if
they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with
those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
The most beautiful
people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known
struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons
have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills
them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people
do not just happen.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
The most difficult
thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper
tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control
your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.
Amelia Earhart
Thoughts mixed with
definiteness of purpose, persistence,
and a burning desire are powerful things.
Napoleon Hill
To laugh often and
much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of
children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has
breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones
you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain
The greatest
achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn,
the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel
stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. Your time is limited,
don’t waste it living someone else's life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is
living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others
opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you
truly want
to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
