Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield
but to my own strength.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved
but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward,
feeling your mercy in my success alone;
But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

“The two things that truly belong to ourselves are
our thoughts and actions.”
“Take notice of what thoughts you choose to fill your mind with each day.
Our thoughts draw to us whatever is dominating our mind,
so always keep what you are thinking about in check.”
“Mastery of impulse is all about self-discipline and choice.
The mind is a powerful tool
with which we have the ability to be in control of ourselves.”

“Like success,
failure is many things to many people.
With positive mental attitude,
failure is a learning experience,
a rung on the ladder,
and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.”
“Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die,
life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer,
it sings because it has a song.
By your own soul,
learn to live
And if men thwart you take no heed.
If men hate you have no care.
Sing your song,
dream your dream,
Hope your hope
and pray your prayer.
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

Any great achievement is preceded by many difficulties
and many lessons;
great achievements are not possible without them.
The easiest way to set goals is to answer the following questions:
What is it I want to achieve?
When do I want to achieve it?
Where am I today
and what action do I need to take to achieve my goal?
Great things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things brought together.
The roots of true achievement lie in
the will to become the best that you can become.

The galleries are full of critics.
They play no ball,
they fight no fights.
They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the doers.
They make mistakes because they try many things.
The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
He is the one who never tries anything.
His is the brake on the wheel of progress.
And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes,
because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing,
does nothing,
except criticize those who do things.

“It's the action,
not the fruit of the action, that's important.
You have to do the right thing.
It may not be in your power,
may not be in your time,
that there'll be any fruit.
But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing.
You may never know what results come from your action.
But if you do nothing,
there will be no result.
”“Today is a new day.
Don't let your history interfere with your destiny!
Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances
and start taking action towards the life you want.
You have the power and the time to shape your life.
Break free from the poisonous victim mentality
and embrace the truth of your greatness.
You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!”

When we long for life without difficulties,
remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds
and diamonds are made under pressure.
Being challenged in life is inevitable,
being defeated is optional.

He that loses his conscience
has nothing left that is worth keeping.
“Karma comes after everyone eventually.
You can't get away with screwing people over,
I don't care who you are.
What goes around comes around.
That's how it works.
Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.”
