Perspective

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

Joyful and exuberant

Joyful and exuberant. That is a grand goal. Something to shoot for. Let’s go for that today. Yup, sign me up. Let’s start by imagining that it’s entirely possible, that it’s within reach, heck it might even be around the corner, or right next to you, about to tap you on the shoulder, right after you read this. I know and you know that imagining it will not automatically make it happen. But it might help. Let’s forget our cynical, logical self for a minute. Most of the time we don’t have any goals for the day, other than a to-do list. If we decide that today we are going to feel JOYFUL and EXUBERANT, then I’d say there’s a damn good chance we will. We’ll be on the lookout for it, and when we spot it, we’ll grab it. It’ll be ours. So let’s put it on our list today.

Development

It’s too big a world to be in competition with everybody else, the only guy I have to get better than is who I am right now.

Be ready

Perhaps we cannot raise the winds. But each of us can put up the sail, so that when the wind comes we can catch it.

Happiness

Happiness starts with you. Not with you relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you.
