A man's worth isn't measured by a bank register or diploma... It's about integrity
Richard Paul Evans
Life is not a sprint. It was never meant to be. It is just a step of faith after another.

We carry around in our heads these pictures of what our lives are supposed to look like, painted by the brush of out intentions.

Richard Paul Evans
...for we are all amateurs at life, but if we do not focus too much on our mistakes, a miraculous picture emerges. And we learn that it's not the beauty of the image that warrants our gratitude--it's the chance to paint.
Richard Paul Evans
Commitment to a plan or thought carries with it a force that can influence the unconscious mind and bring about the desired effect. In other words, once we decide to have something, the mind unconsciously begins to create the reality necessary to bring to pass what we desire.
Richard Paul Evans
...even the most horribl e of nightmares is laced with the promise of dawn.
Richard Paul Evans
Procrastinatio n is the thief of dreams
Richard Paul Evans
I've wondered why the famous congregate with each other. Perhaps it's to assure each other that they really are as important as they think they are.
Richard Paul Evans
