Being positive does not mean ignoring the negative. Being positive means overcoming the negative.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

Every day is a day to be thankful. Life's abundance has no limit, and gratitude is what keeps that abundance flowing. In every circumstance there is something for which to be thankful. Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is hope.

Lasting achievement, whatever the endeavor, comes from a commitment to excellence every step of the way.

Achievement does not require extraordinary ability. Achievement comes from ordinary abilities applied with extraordinary persistence.

Procrastinating, fighting and avoiding will only make it more difficult. The way out is to get it done.

Patience expands your options. If you insist on immediate gratification, your choices are severely limited.
