“A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.”
“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.”
“You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'”
“You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together.”
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.”
“Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.”
“Ideas are elusive, slippery things. Best to keep a pad of paper and a pencil at your bedside, so you can stab them during the night before they get away.”
“We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.”
“Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.”
“You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea.”
“Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us.”
“Throughout all history, the great wise men and teachers, philosophers, and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things. It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement. We become what we think about.”
“Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper in turn.”
“The big thing is that you know what you want.”
“Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.”
“We tend to live up to our expectations.”
“People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not.”
“We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.”
“The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.”
“Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.”
