The repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.

The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.

The effect of emotional venting is to sustain an unsatisfactory status quo. Most people think the opposite, that complaining is part of an effort to change an unsatisfying situation. Nope. Complaining lets off pressure so that we neither explode with frustration nor feel compelled to take the often risky steps of openly opposing a difficult person or situation. Keeping emotional pressure tolerably low doesn't change problematic circumstances but rather perpetuates them.

I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.

Most of my clients don't realize that the way they look and the way they think about their looks are two separate issues.

Ten bajillion product ads notwithstanding, your looks are another thing that's basically genetic.

Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
