By thinking and acting affirmatively in this minute, you will influence the hour, the day, and in time, your entire life.

Put up the dream. Put in the knowledge. Put out the effort.

Start edifying the flowers. Stop pointing out the weeds.

Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.

Expect the best; convert problems into opportunities; be dissatisfied with the status quo; focus on where you want to go, instead of where you're coming from; and most importantly, decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

The most important opinion you'll ever have is the one you hold of yourself.

Winners live each day as if their last. Not in the future, nor in the past, and someday . . . becomes now!
