Your joy, your happiness, your satisfaction and your ability to dance with life, depends solely on what you pay attention to.

One step at a time is enough for me. Impatience is simply a way of beating yourself up.

When you put loving thoughts and behavior into the world, you plant seeds of self-respect. When you put unloving thoughts and behavior into the world, you destroy seeds of self-respect.

So commit! Commit yourself to pushing through the fear and becoming more than you are at the present moment. The you that could be is absolutely colossal.

Every time you encounter something that forces you to “handle it,” your self-esteem is raised considerably. You learn to trust that you will survive, no matter what happens. And in this way your fears are diminished immeasurably.

Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the fear which comes from the feeling of helplessness.

Knowing that we can make a difference in this world is a great motivator. How can we know this and not be involved?
