A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings.

Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day!

Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life, not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.

Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities; the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.
