Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.

You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'

Successful people are dreamers who have found a dream too exciting, too important, to remain in the realm of fantasy. Day by day, hour by hour, they toil in the service of their dream until they can see it with their eyes and touch it with their hands.

Your rewards, all the years of your life, will be in precise proportion to your service. You are here to serve others, just as they serve you.

If the average person realized the power he wields over his life and destiny, he would live in a perpetual state of wonder and thanksgiving.

One thing a goal must do is fill us with positive emotion when we think about it. The more intensely we feel about a goal the more progressively we’ll move toward it.

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people. Every dollar we will ever earn must come from people. The person we love, and with whom we want to spend the rest of our life, is a human being with whom we must interact. Our children are individuals, each different from any other person who ever lived. And what affects them most is our attitude-the loving kindness they see and feel whenever we are around them. If you'll begin to develop and maintain an attitude that says yes to life and the world, you'll be astonished at the changes you'll see.
