Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. 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.

Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.

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

Welcome those big, sticky, complicated problems. In them are your most powerful opportunities.

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.

Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.

You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.

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.

If you so choose, every mistake can lead to greater understanding and effectiveness. If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.

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

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

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

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

You can make a difference, and you can make it now. You can make a difference, in your own life, in your family, your community, your world.

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