When we stop to count our blessings rather than focusing on our predicament, our attitude will be able to help us cope with our situation more productively.

The simple act of helping someone—with no desire (or possibility) of repayment is good for us and our self-image, and it may positively change the life or outlook of the receiver for the day!

Focusing on others will give you more influence and power than focusing on yourself.

What we know is far less important than what we use.

Look carefully at the closest associations in your life, for that is the direction you are heading.

Live in your imagination today, for tomorrow it can become your reality.

Don't focus on being different, focus on being yourself - and your difference will naturally shine through!
