The value of good preparation
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca
Live a good life
Quote
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca
Cherish your challenges
Quote
I judge you unfortunate because you have never lived through misfortune. You have passed through life without an oponent – no one can ever know what you are capable of, not even you.
Seneca
Pursue your desire
Quote
You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.
Seneca
Re-Evaluate your situation
Quote
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
Seneca
Enjoy what you have
Quote
No one can have whatever he wants. What he can do is not want what he doesn’t have, and cheerfully enjoy what comes his way.
Seneca
Strengthening body and soul
Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

Get it done
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
Seneca

Worry not
A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.
