“If you could make the world exactly to your liking, consider very specifically just how that world would be. If you could spend your time doing precisely what you wish, how would the moments of your life be lived?”

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.

Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations.

Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you’ll have much to live for.

Let your mind see every detail of your own special version of the very best that life can be.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.

Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.

If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.

Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

Look up from what you’re doing and look around for a minute. See what a beautiful world you’re in.

Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true.

Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.

Your life is always moving toward something.

When I was young, I never wanted to leave the court until I got things exactly correct. My dream was to become a pro.

The principles Donald Trump is focused on are exactly the right principles: more choice, more competition, lower costs, lower premiums.

If we can take young people who excel at the highest levels, put them on the same kind of pedestal as the all-state basketball player and the all-state football player, and begin to get the same kind of recognition, it will have a profound effect, and we are finding that it does.
