A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. It’s so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to.
Don’t put the key to happiness in someone else’s pocket. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed. Success will never be a big step in the future, success is a small step taken just now.
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. Follow your passion, and success will follow you.
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.
Be the master of your fate, be the captain of your soul, but do not hesitate, should the chance befall you, to be the slave of your heart. The naïve follow their hearts. The wise lead with their hearts.
The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them. If I was meant to be controlled, I would have come with a remote.
Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing. Gold cannot be pure and people cannot be perfect.
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. If you don’t decide what your life is about, it defaults to what you spend your days doing.
Don’t chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people who belong in your life will come find you and stay. Just do your thing.
Life marks us all down, so it’s just as well that we start out by overpricing ourselves. If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assued that the world will not raise your price.
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an Invincible summer.” —Albert Camus
If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might them sorrows know how to swim. The thing in the human personality that dissolves in alcohol is dignity.
Remember you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
“Never give in… never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force… never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” —Winston Churchill
Forget what hurt you but never forget what it taught you. I am thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.
Don’t love what you can’t trust. Don’t hate what you can’t have. Don’t say what you can’t show. Don’t judge what you don’t know.
Refuse to lose. Refuse to be defeated. Refuse to be cheated and refuse to have regrets.
Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t turn out — take another shot.
Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending. Breathe it all in, love it all out.
