Remind thyself, in the darkest moments, that every failure is only a step toward success, every detection of what is false directs you toward what is true, every trial exhausts some tempting form of error, and every adversity will only hide, for a time, your path to peace and fulfillment.

I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which has carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Never has there been a scroll, even such as the one I hold, which so much as a penny or produced a single word of acclamation. Action, alone, is the tinder which ignites the map, the parchment, this scroll, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success. I will act now.

Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future.

Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

You do not live in a vacuum nor can you harvest the better fruits of life without help and ENCOURAGEMENT from others.

Already, it is later than you think for your earthly life at best, is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.
