The minute that we change our minds, and stop giving power to the past, the past with its mistakes loses power over us.

We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice.

Within you, whoever you may be, regardless of how big a failure you may think yourself to be, is the ability and the power to do whatever you need to do to be happy and successful.

Your most important sale in life is to sell yourself to yourself.

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have not goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal.

When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.

People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Prescription: Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Decide what you want out of a situation. Always have something ahead of you to “look forward to” — to work for and hope for.
