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.

We learn by observation, imitation and repetition.

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

Stop stewing and start doing!

One person's ceiling is another person's floor.

Optimism boosts your energy and focuses your sights on reaching your goals, rather than wallowing in your setbacks.

Better to seek change by inspiration, than out of desperation.
