The amount you laugh in your relationships with others is the true measure of the health of your personality.

Self-discipline is a great time-saver; it is the ability to make yourself work on only those things that are most important to you.

Do one thing at a time. Start the day with a list of things you have to do, and do the most important things first. Even if you don't get the list done, you've gotten the most important things done. So many people spend so much time on things that aren't important.

Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people. Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life. Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up. The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.

The only real limitation on your abilities is the level of your desires. If you want it badly enough, there are no limits on what you can achieve.

Why haven't you achieved your goals yet? What are your favorite excuses, and how do they hold you back?

Most of your happiness will come from your relationships with others. Handle them with care.
