I will persist until I succeed!
Og Mandino
Each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence.
Og Mandino
I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be?
Og Mandino
I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why would the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
Og Mandino
Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
Og Mandino
My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear ... now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror.... I will walk where the failure fears to walk.

The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.
Og Mandino
My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
Og Mandino
Practice the art of patience for nature never acts in haste.
Og Mandino
Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Og Mandino
I will live this day as if it is my last
Og Mandino
You can't conquer reality by running away from it.
Og Mandino
Never will I pursue happiness, because it is not a goal, just a by-product, and there is no happiness in having or in getting, only in giving.
Og Mandino
Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.
Og Mandino
I will persist. I will always take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another.
Og Mandino
Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no mater how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles
Og Mandino
Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along.
Og Mandino
Remind thyself, in the darkest moments, that every failure is only a step toward success, every detection of what is false directs you toward what is true, every trial exhausts some tempting form of error, and every adversity will only hide, for a time, your path to peace and fulfillment.
Og Mandino
Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.
