The one person who most blocks you from a full, happy, and successful life is you. They are therefore wise who make themselves an asset. We can be our own worst enemies or best friends. We can be a source of trouble or a cure for trouble. So if you feel empty, as many do, start by getting free from yourself as a first stop to vibrant living.
Norman Vincent Peale

Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun. Change your thoughts and you change your world.
