“Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.”

Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude.

Dare to visualize a world in which your most treasured dreams have become true.

Put your energy into building what is creative, valuable and empowering. And you won’t have to constantly fight against what is destructive and draining.

If you so choose, the challenges can make you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more determined.

It doesn’t matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it. The extent and complexity of the problem does not matter was much as does the willingness to solve it.

To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.

Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don’t allow yourself to become one of them.

Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.

If you so choose, even the unexpected setbacks can bring new and positive possibilities. If you so choose, you can find value and fulfillment in every circumstance.

So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful.

Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you.

Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.

The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move.

Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.

He who fears he shall suffer, already suffers what he fears.

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyper real.

I feel like whatever is meant is meant. I feel like this is already written.

My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it.

If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.

Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word ‘modernity’ if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
