The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.

I am natures greatest miracle. Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. I am a unique creature.

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.

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.
Og Mandino
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
