I'm a confirmed negaholic. I don't just see a glass that's half full and call it half-empty I see a glass that's completely full and worry that someone's going to tip it over.

Our thoughts create our reality-not instantly, necessarily, as in Poof! There it is - but eventually. Where we put our focus - our inner and outer vision - is the direction we tend to go. That's our desire, our intention.

People who want to appear clever rely on memory. People who want to get things done make lists.

When you start noticing even a small portion of all there is to be grateful for, you'll find there is no room for lack, hurt, or want. The attitude of gratitude: the great, full feeling.

This is a lifetime of good-byes. In our time, we will say good-bye to cherished people, things, and ideas. Eventually, we say good-bye to life itself with our death. Learn to say a good good-bye. Allow yourself to mourn each loss. As with a physical wound, the body has its own schedule for healing. It will tell you when it has healed.

If we learned all we needed to know in kindergarten, it was promptly drummed out of us in first grade.

For writing, getting off our buts means getting on our butts-putting it into a chair and not moving from the chair for a set period of time.

Let your intentions create your methods and not the other way around.

Heroes became heroes flaws and all gives us hope. You mean I don't have to be perfect to fulfill my Dream, to make a contribution? Hardly. It takes commitment, courage, and passion to live a dream and make a contribution. Heroes had these qualities along with their flaws.

By pursuing any one of our dreams, we can find fulfillment. We don't need to pursue them all.

Willingness opens the doors to knowledge, direction, and achievement. Be willing to know, be willing to do, be willing to create a positive result. Be willing, especially, to follow your dream.
