If I hadn't spent many years trying to be as compassionate as Mother Teresa, as positive a thinker as W. Clement Stone, as prolific a writer as Stephen King, and as good a speaker as many of the legends I have studied, I would not be as successful as I am today.
It is kindness in a person, not beauty that wins our love
There is only one person responsible for the quality of life you live and that person is you.
The things that bring you the greatest joy are in alignment with your purpose.
I'm a big believer in growth. Life is not about achievement, it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion, patience, perseverance, love, and joy, and so forth. And so if that is the case, then I think our goals should include something which stretches us.
Most everything that you want is just outside your comfort zone.
Gratitude is the single most important ingredient to living a successful and fulfilled life.
Most of life is on-the-job training. Some of the most important things can only be learned in the process of doing them. You do something and you get feedback - about what works and what doesn't. If you don't do anything for fear of doing it wrong, poorly, or badly, you never get any feedback, and therefore you never get to improve.
Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing, and uplifting people -- people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories.
May you always work like you don't need the money; May you always love like you've never been hurt; and May you always dance like there's nobody watching.
When you're nice to people, they want to be nice back to you.
You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going. Babies don't walk the first time they try, but eventually they get it right
You only have control over three things in your life - the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything you experience. If you don't like what you are producing and experiencing, you have to change your responses.
Decide what it is you want, write it down, review it constantly, and each day do something that moves you toward those goals.
