Winners do what losers won’t
The problem is not that people aim too high and miss. It’s that they aim to low and hit
The mind determines what is possible, but the soul surpasses it.
We can’t change yesterday. We can only make the most of today & look with hope for tomorrow
Today’s seeds bring tomorrow’s harvest
The answer always comes, but in ways you least except
Instead of counting your troubles, try adding up your blessings
Treat people you meet each day as though it is your last day on earth
It is better to forgive & forget than to resent & remember
Spend your life the way you like, but remember you can only live it once
We gain strength from temptations we resist
Don’t count your years, make your years count
If we have pleasant thoughts, even when we are alone we are in good company
Forget your mistakes, but remember what they taught you
It’s easy to pick a wise man by what he does not say
Karma means action, so things change through action not wishing
Negative emotions produce corrupt actions
Never lose hope, faith; in the end everything will be ok
Anger can’t solve problems, it complicates things further
There are no un-resolvable disputes in the world
Turn worry into determination
History is history no one can change it
Sometimes silence is more useful
Blessed is the soul too busy to worry during the day and too tired to worry at night
Success comes in cans, failures come in cants
We can’t discover new seas if we aren’t prepared to leave the shore
Pain is temporary, pride is forever
The only true way of failing is to stop trying
We must find a way or make one
If you want some things if your life to change in your life you have to change something
Dreams are what you hope for. Goals are things you make happen
You have the ability to change your feelings
Happiness is good health and a bad memory
You can choose to see obstacles as problems or opportunities
In life what sometimes appears to be an end is really a new beginning
If you do stand for something, you will for anything
Half of getting what you want is knowing what you have to give up in order of getting it
Any adult who is fortunate who gets their disappointments early in life, because they can learn to start over again
Neither success nor failure is ever final
You must do the things you think you can’t
We all get stepped over once, but one must pick oneself up again, and behave as if it was nothing
Fear is that little dark room negatives are developed
Live in the present, & future never the past
Everything changes except change
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shinning
Never except “no” things, situations, people’s perception changes, always another angle
Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else
Everything in life is temporary
Step beyond where other thought you would step
Keep like a duck, calm & unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath
Our problem is not to learn but to unlearn
You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself
what ever happens, happens for a reason
the only thing that you can't change is time
live today like it is your last
you attract more bees with honey
there is a fine line between genius and mentally fucked
there is a hidden message in every thing
common sense is not common, 90% people are clueless
what is meant will always find its way
The only people you need in your life are the ones that prove they need you in theirs
Don’t chase them, replace them
No regrets, just lessons learned
True strength is keeping yourself together when everyone expects you to fall apart
Sometimes its best to forget how you feel and remember what you deserve
Don’t make someone a priority when they make you an option

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; -Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; -Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; -Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; -Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; -Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; -Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the end, it is between you and God; -It was never between you and them anyway."
-Mother Teresa
SEIZE THE MOMENT: Well done is better then well said. The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less then you settled for. Its not whether you get knocked down, its whether you get back up. Many people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live. Its better to die on your feet then to live on your knees.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF: If you dont take control of your life dont complain when others do. Remember, if you don’t want to be with yourself why should anyone else? There are no impossible dreams, just our limited perception of what is possible. You have to pay close attention to what you love, and never listen to anyone who tells you to be practical too early in the GAME. You don't need a loud voice to be heard, all you need is something worthwhile to say. Fallings part of the game, no matter how good you are, the ice is still slippery.
DARE TO BELIEVE: You have to have emptiness before it can be filled, you have to exhale before you can inhale. The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible. There are two kinds of people in this world, Those who walk in the room and say "There you are" and those that say "Here I am". Remember if people talk behind your back, it only means you are two steps ahead.
