Dreams are unrealistic, impractical, demanding - and absolutely essential to living a rich and fulfilling life.

Success requires both urgency and patience. Be urgent about making the effort, and patient about seeing the results.

A smile can work wonders. Put it to work for you.

Don't waste time on excuses. Just get it done.

Instead of jumping at the chance to be offended, choose to be amused. Rather than filling your thoughts with resentment, fill your heart with forgiveness.

Your life is constantly nourished by your thoughts. Whatever the direction your life is moving, your thoughts have led you there.

Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.
