Positive Influenced Other Lives

"The true measure of a person’s success in life should not be judged by their rise to wealth or stature, but rather by the degree to which they have positively influenced other lives in their own lifetime."

The Power of Any Thought

"Thoughts are not facts. They are suggestions offered up to us by the brain to help us make sense of the world. The power of any thought is in how much we believe it to be the only truth. Taking power out of those thoughts starts with stepping back, getting some distance (metacognition) and seeing them for what they are."

-- Julie Smith

Important of Strength Training

"I really would urge every woman to consider some form of strength training. It is one of the most important things you can do to keep you mobile and active as you go down the path of life and it is never too early or late to start. Not only does it improve your balance and stability, it increases bone density, which is vital for protecting against osteoporosis. Plus there is something very satisfying about picking up a heavy box and realising you are quite capable of moving it by yourself." 

-- Trinny Woodall

Aim At Perfection in Everything

"Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and  ersevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable."

-- Lord Chesterfield

The Strenght of Character

"A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph."

-- James Allen

Learn From Our Past Experiences

"If our goal is to live each day with freedom and joy, we have a chance to learn from our past experiences without allowing them to interfere with the happiness and confidence that come from living intentionally today."

-- John F. Westfall

No Use Going Back To Yesterday

 "It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. 

-— Lewis Carroll

Your Life Energy

"Making deliberate choices about how to spend your money and your time is the essence of making the most of your life energy."

-- Bill Perkins

Quit Drinking Right Now

"Drinking. Alcohol abuse is one of the most obvious factors in the Grant Study leading to Sad-Sick and putting Happy-Well out of reach. If there is any indication of problem drinking in your life, or if you have drinking problems in your family, do not wonder about it or take your chances. Quit drinking right now."

-- Arthur C. Brooks

Build The Plane On The Way Down

"There’s a startup saying that you should jump off a cliff and build the plane on the way down. That’s how you should look at a new job, a new city, a new partner or anything that you are scared to do: jump off the cliff and figure out the rest on your way down. That’s what I did"

-- Nicholas Haralambous
