Wisdom for Success.

Chasing success
is like trying to squeeze a handful of water. The tighter you squeeze, the
less water you get.
When you chase it, your life
becomes the chase, and you become a victim of always wanting more.
|
 |
If you refuse
to change your job (if you don’t like it), the only sensible thing you
can do is
practice loving it every day.
|
 |
Enjoy
everything that happens in your life, but never make your happiness or
success dependent on an
attachment to any person, place, or
thing.
|
 |
The more you
see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as if what you want
is already there,
the more you’ll activate those dormant
forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.
|
 |
Most people are
searching for happiness outside of themselves. That’s a fundamental
mistake.
Happiness is something you are, and it
comes from the way you think.
|
 |
You are in a
partnership with all other human beings,
not a contest to be judged better than
some and worse than others.
|
 |
Life is never
boring, but some people choose to be bored . . . boredom is a choice.
|
 |
Treat yourself
and others with kindness when you eat, exercise, play, work, love, and
everything else. |
 |
Money—like
health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that you want to create
for yourself—
is the result of living purposefully. It
is not a goal unto itself.
|
 |
The opposite of
courage is not so much fear as it is conformity. |
 |
Try viewing
everyone who comes into your life as a teacher. |
 |
Forgiveness is
the most powerful thing you can do for yourself.
If you can’t learn to forgive, you can
forget about achieving true success in your life.
|
 |
There are
limits to material growth, but there are no limits to inner enlightenment. |
