Life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day.

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

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream.

The environment that creates winners is almost always made up of winners.

Becoming mature means learning to accept what you cannot change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you would have it happen.

Each destination you reach only opens out into wider horizons, new and undiscovered countries for you to explore.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.
