Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun. Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.

Any action is better than no action at all.

If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were - and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

The world in which you live is not primarily determined by outward conditions and circumstances but by the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind.
