Our idea of a real problem is someone else's idea of an ultimate dream. Put the 'problem' in perspective

The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you’re going to be.

My philosophy is to "kill the monster while it's little." The best time to handle a "negative" emotion is when you first begin to feel it. It's much more difficult to interrupt an emotional pattern once it's full-blown.

Whatever happens, take responsibility.

People always try to be perfect. That's why they don't start anything. Perfection is the lowest standard in the world. Because if you're trying to be perfect, you know you can't be. So what you really have is a standard you can never achieve. You want to be outstanding, not perfect.

What we do in life is determined by how we communicate to ourselves. In the modern world, the quality of life is the quality of communication.

If you believe you are right, or you believe you are wrong, you're right. Whenever you are certain about it, you will support it. Remember that.
