“My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more.”

I am not a human being, I am a human becoming.

I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.

What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.

You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day.

Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

Success and rest don’t sleep together.

Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.

Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.

Never, in all of the seventy billion humans who have walked this planet since the beginning of time has there been anyone exactly like you.

Remember that the most difficult tasks are consummated, not by a single explosive burst of energy or effort, but by the constant daily application of the best you have within you.

Pay less attention to what you hear about someone, and more to what you learn about them as you make the effort.

Never settle for the crumbs of life.

People’s minds are changed through observation and not through argument.

There is nothing permanent except change.

I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

Take a moment to look back. Change the process slightly from your discovery. Start again.

Everyone’s opinions about things change over time. Nothing is constant. Everything changes. And to hold onto some dogged idea forever is a little rigid and maybe naive.

One day, you will be life-changing to someone.

Change allows us to live as the best version of ourselves.

What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
