“Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.”

See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.

Don’t get buried in the thick of thin things.

Before you wonder “Am I doing things right?” wonder “Am I doing the right things?”

There is so much we can do to render service, to make a difference in the world – no matter how large or small our circle of influence.

When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you’re pledging your integrity.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.

Little kindness and courtesies are so important. In relationships, the little things are the big things.

You can’t talk your way out of a problem you behaved your way into!

The key to success is dedication to life-long learning.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

Most leaders would agree that they’d be better off having an average strategy with superb execution than a superb strategy with poor execution. Those who execute always have the upper hand.

Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience.

Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.

Almost every significant breakthrough is the result of a courageous break with traditional ways of thinking.

Be willing to take the first step, no matter how small it is. Concentrate on the fact that you are willing to learn. Absolute miracles will happen.

I’m going to focus on people and what they need, not on name calling between politicians.

Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.

Change the focus of the eye. When you have done that, then the end of the world as you formerly knew it will have occurred, and you will experience the radiance of the divine presence everywhere, here and now.

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what’s wrong in your life, or you can focus on what’s right.

If your attention is focused only on the result, then you are no longer in the process. But if you’re in the process, then the result is guaranteed.

If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

Don’t worry about what you can’t do; focus instead on what you can do… and then do it.
