So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine...[your] values and goals...Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want. The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it The human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens in return. Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you. Visionary people are visionary partly because of the very great many things they don't see. The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few. In a democracy, the individual enjoys not only the ultimate power but carries the ultimate responsibility. Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything. Try living one day without any unhealthy thoughts. It may be very difficult, but try another day, until it becomes habitual, and life will move in the direction of becoming healthy, vital, and alive. |
