We begin to forgive by choosing to forgive . . . by deciding, not by feeling. Our feelings don't lead us to forgive. Most times, our feelings lead us the other way. That's why a person has to decide to forgive first. Our feelings always follow along behind our decisions.

Ask yourself this question everyday: What is it about me that other people would change if they could?

A life filled with opportunities and encouragement finds more and more opportunities and encouragement, and success becomes inevitable.

While public opinion might sway back and forth, right and wrong do not.

Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases...When you focus on the things you need, you'll find those needs increasing. If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don't have, you will soon be concentrating on other things that you had forgotten you don't have-and feel worse! If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose...But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life.

Adversity is preparation for greatness.

Much of your success in life is determined by how you choose to act in spite of how you feel.
