Image
I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart Yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due Yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
Og Mandino
Image
I'd rather learn how to prevent failure than how to gain success, because for what is success other than a state of mind?
Og Mandino
Image
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
Image
I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.

If I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.

I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat for they are the words of fools.

Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find tomorrow on the calendars of fools.

Image
In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is - I will form good habits and become their slave.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
Og Mandino
Image
Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now.

Image
If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.
Og Mandino
Image
To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.

Image
Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.

Image
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?

My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more.
