Remember, it's more mentally tiring to think about what has to be done, and all the things that might go wrong, than it is to physically do the job.

Don't worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.

Sometimes you dance with a partner, and sometimes you dance alone. But the important thing is to keep dancing.

If you take the approach that “good” is not an accident - that everyone and everything that shows up in your life is there for a reason - you’ll begin to see every event (no matter how difficult or challenging) as a chance for enrichment and advancement in your life.

Jump, then grow wings on the way down.

I have a friend, a pastor, who applied with me and 419 other people for 25 seats on a special advisory board. Though I believed she was infinitely more qualified than me, she wasn't selected and I was. When I saw her at her church weeks later, I asked her how she felt about the decision. While disappointment, self-doubt and defeat would have been normal reactions to the Board's decision, my friend said she felt great. 'How come?' I asked. She said with a smile, 'I just figured God had something better in store for me.'

Am I now ready to make some changes.
