I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along.

I will persist until I succeed!

Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.

Laugh and your life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life.

The greatest secret in the world is that you only have to be a small measurable amount better than mediocrity ...and you've got it made.

I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure.
