We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives ... not looking for flaws but for potential.
Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate, regret or fear.
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.
For last year's words belong to last year's language. And next year's words await another voice.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'
No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.
Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
