Human beings are not comparable. You can't compare us any more than you can compare roses and oranges, or mountains and the sea. You might prefer living by the sea to living in the mountains. You certainly like some people better than you like others. Preferences are perfectly valid...they're just your style asserting itself again. But you'd feel pretty silly saying 'The sea is better than the mountains.' It's every bit as silly to go around saying 'I'm better than Mary, but Joe is better than me.'

Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.

If you truly feared failure, you'd be very successful.

Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't.

Every time you have to make a choice about anything, think Does this go toward or away from what I want? Always choose what goes toward what you want.

What you want is what you need. Your dearest wish comes straight from your core, loaded with vital information about who you are and who you can become.

It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself.
