Life is a mission, not a career.

Before you wonder "Am I doing things right?" wonder "Am I doing the right things?"

When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.

As long as you think the problem is out there, that very thought is the problem

Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.

Whatever your present situation, I assure you that you are not your habits. You can replace old patterns of self-defeating behavior with new patterns, new habits of the effectiveness, happiness and trust-based relationships.

We are product of neither nature nor nurture; we are a product of choice, because there is always a space between stimulus and response. As we wisely exercise our power to choose based on principles, the space will become larger.
