I will touch a life today

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.

"Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you."

The deepest purpose you feel, drives every other purpose in your life. Allow that ever-abiding, timeless purpose to be fully nourished by your actions.

In kindness, there is a power, a level of confidence and self assurance that is difficult to deny. Even when all else has failed, kindness can make a difference precisely because it speaks with such strength.

Yes, it's certainly true that anything of value takes much time and effort to completely reach. Yet it is just as true that you can begin to reach for it at this very moment, if you so choose.

The more frenzied and hurried life becomes, the more serene and unperturbed you have the opportunity to be. Whatever you can accomplish in a hectic and chaotic state, you can accomplish much more powerfully with peaceful, calm determination.

Life does not gain meaning through the things you see advertised on television. If all you want is what the world tells you to want, you'll find yourself in a perpetual state of lack, limitation and frustration.

Free yourself from the off-the-shelf definition of success that is nothing more than an empty fantasy. Instead, find real success and joy by giving life to the purpose that has always been within you.

Point your hope toward the highest peak you can imagine. Then give the best that you have to see it through.

When you deny what you know is right in order to follow the expediency of the moment, the benefits you gain are trivial and fleeting. Choose instead to live each moment true to the highest values you know.

In every frustration is the seed of opportunity. That opportunity is available to those who refuse to be discouraged even after moving sideways for a while.

Free your happiness from any conditions or limitations you may have put on it. Experience the depth and beauty of the happiness that fills you when you allow it.

Though this day is not perfect, the experience of it can be perfectly beautiful. Count your many blessings, and you'll see that they far outweigh any obstacles you face.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned... ...so as to have the life that is waiting for us

There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart. For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes.

The world is overflowing with new places, things, people, ideas, challenges and experiences. They are all out there ready to be discovered and met and explored. You cannot now know what positive value they'll bring to your life, but you can know this. They are most certainly worth the effort and courage it takes to overcome any apprehension you may have about venturing out to meet them.

Nothing of value is ever accomplished in an instant. No skill is ever fully developed in a single day.

Delight in the rich details of where you are headed. And you'll work your way steadily there.

No matter what level you've reached, you are always capable of reaching even higher. What a shame it would be to miss out on life's biggest opportunities just because you wanted to stay comfortable.

Life is lived by intention. So make your intentions clear and positive. Try saying to yourself "I hope I can make this sale." Now try saying "I intend to make this sale." Can you feel the enormous difference in power? Live with the best of intentions. Make them positive. Make them clear. Make them specific and ambitious. Make them fit the person you are. Make them true to your purpose. Your intentions are powerful indeed. Put them to work for you.

Imagine intensely and persistently there is no way that you can't be there where you Imagine yourself to be!

With each action you take, you make a difference. The more experience you have at making a difference, the more skillful you become at making that difference exactly what you want it to be.
