Persistence is probably the single most common quality of high achievers. They simply refuse to give up. They longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favor. No matter how hard it seems, the longer you persist the more likely your success.

I believe the principles and techniques in this book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, can literally change the world, but more importantly, they can change the quality of your life with your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your co-workers and everyone else you interact with. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The problem is that most people focus on their failures rather than their successes. But the truth is that most people have many more successes than failures.

The principles always work if you work the principles.

Overcome your barriers, intend the best, and be patient. You will enjoy more balance, more growth, more income, and more fun!

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.

I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness. No one ever compares themselves to someone else and comes out even. Nine times out of ten, we compare ourselves to people who are somehow better than us and end up feeling more inadequate.
