As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.

Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.

You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization.

To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.

Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.

The winners in life treat their body as if it were a magnificent spacecraft that gives them the finest transportation and endurance for their lives.

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining perspective. They make their lives a work of art - an individual masterpiece.

Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.

Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.

As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
