Our beliefs about what we are and what we can be precisely determine what we can be

Our culture teaches us that making significant changes takes a long time and is difficult to do. This is simply NOT true. Change happens in an instant. It is not a process - it is something you do in an instant by simply making a decision.

Why do people persist in a dissatisfying relationship, unwilling either to work toward solutions or end it and move on? It's because they know changing will lead to the unknown, and most people believe that the unknown will be much more painful than what they're already experiencing.

High self-esteem comes from feeling like you have control over events not that events have control over you.

Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!

Find someone worse off than you and help them. It will put your life in perspective.

Remember: courage, unused, diminishes. Commitment, unexercised, wanes. Love, unshared, dissipates.
