“Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.”

Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.

A smile puts you on the right track. A smile makes the world a beautiful place. When you lose your smile, you lose your way in the chaos of life.

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes.

Happiness depends on your mindset and attitude.

Respect other people’s feelings. It might mean nothing to you, but it could mean everything to them.

The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Other people’s perception of you is a reflection of them; your response to them is an awareness of you.

If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.

You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Be the positive impact on the lives of others.

It’s your life; you don’t need someone’s permission to live the life you want. Be brave to live from your heart.

When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.

Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.

There’s a big difference between equality and equity.

There’s a difference between violence and senseless violence.

When we treat children’s play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that’s to be found in the creative spirit. It’s the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.

Is there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.

On the path to success, there is always going to be an opportunity to help someone else be successful too. Take that opportunity, and be the kind of person who makes a difference in the lives of others.
