Even though we often mess up, most of us are doing the best that we know how with the circumstances that surround us.

as you begin to eliminate your need for perfection in all areas of your life, you'll begin to discover the perfection in life itself

The key to a good life is this: If you're not going to talk about something during the last hour of your life, then don't make it a top priority during your lifetime.

Life is a process--just one thing after another. When you lose it, just start again.

Every day, tell at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them.

One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It's not and it won't. When we make this mistake we tend to spend a lot of time wallowing and/or complaining about what's wrong with life. "It's not fair," we complain, not realizing that, perhaps, it was never intended to be.

One of the most dynamic and significant changes you can make in your life is to make the commitment to drop all negative references to your past, to begin living now.
