“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.”

True happiness lies within you.

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits.

Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity, but with it you can accomplish miracles.

My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future.

I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think, and now I know a great secret of life, for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements , and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise.

Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all.

If you do different, you will have different. If you begin to require more of yourself, that in and of itself is different.

When you finally let go peace begins to flow.

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.
