One of the best ways to properly evaluate and adapt to the many environmental stresses of life is to simply view them as normal. The adversity and failures in our lives, if adapted to and viewed as normal corrective feedback to use to get back on target, serve to develop in us an immunity against anxiety, depression, and the adverse responses to stress. Instead of tackling the most important priorities that would make us successful and effective in life, we prefer the path of least resistance and do things simply that will relieve our tension, such as shuffling papers and majoring in minors.

The most important three words you can say to yourself: Yes I can!

Positive self-direction is the action plan that all winners in life use to turn imagination into reality, fantasy into fact, and dreams into actual goals.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.

We don't get what we want, we get what we expect.

Instead of just letting life happen, I'm going to make it happen for me.
