The Secret To Life

"Life's course is unpredictable, nobody can pen his autobiography in advance.  The secret to life lies in finding a way of thinking that can support you.  Life is like a form of practice, a cultivation of the mind.  Having cultivated a mind that regards all equally, one is never unhappy; having cultivated a contended mind, there is nowhere one cannot feel happiness.  To be unexcited when the going is smooth and to be calm when the going is hard is the key.  One who has no self-respect
attracts humiliation, whereas one who is never content (with knowledge) becomes well-learned and one who is never full of oneself benefits more.  Life is a habit we keep up with in an environment we like."

-- Buddha

-- Shannon Kaiser

Always Something To Learn When You Fail

"But each time you fail, there is something you can learn about how to succeed the next time. Take the time to examine how each setback can propel you forward. Then get back up and try again, and again, and again."

-- Linda Kaplan Thaler

Habits Can Be Learned and Unlearned

"Your habits are learned; therefore, they can be unlearned. If you want to sail your life in a new direction, you have to first pick up the anchors of bad habits that have been weighing you down."

-- Darren Hardy

Choose To Respond Instead of React

"Decide what impact you choose to have on the world you step into every day instead of reacting without a thought to what the world dishes out to you. Empower yourself and take charge from the get-go. Choose to respond instead of react."

-- Yvonne Teoh Bource

Working Hard To Meet Personal Challenges

-- Cheryl Strayed

Optimism and Failure Are Equally Powerful Force

"Optimism is essential in being resilient; it allows us to stay motivated during trying times. But failure can be an equally powerful force in driving us to work harder."

-- Linda Kaplan Thaler

Take Something From Failure

"Failure is part of the Method. Sometimes it comes in waves; sometimes it catches you by surprise. But whenever it hits, understand that it is part of your pursuit. Take something from failure and use it to move your vision along."

-- Bob Bowman

One Of The Worst Fears We Can Have

"One of the worst fears we can have is the fear to attempt something.  That can leave you feeling bereft for no particular reason except that maybe you will have missed your purpose.  There is always the possibility of failure, but there is a greater chance of success if you actually try to do something versus doing nothing."
