Doing the
best at this moment
puts you in the best place for the next moment.
The greatest
discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by
merely changing his attitude.
Be thankful
for what you have, you'll end up having more. If you concentrate
on what you don't have, you will never ever have enough.
The more you
praise and celebrate your life,
the more there is in life to celebrate.
"You've got
to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you
love--who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe
that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow
your own dreams."
Excellence
is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
Breathe. Let
go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one
you know you have for sure.
Do
the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again.
Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are
those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own
it.
I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the
process.
What
you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your
life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even
money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what
happened in my life.
