Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality.
Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
“Of course there is no formula for success except
perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.”

The difference between a successful person and others
is not a lack of strength,
not a lack of knowledge,
but rather a lack of will.
Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will.

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
Don't listen to those who say, "It's not done that way."
Maybe it's not, but maybe you will.
Don't listen to those who say, "You're taking too big a chance."
Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor,
and it would surely be rubbed out by today.
Most importantly,
don't listen when the little voice of fear inside of you rears its ugly head and says,
"They're all smarter than you out there. They're more talented,
they're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections…"
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you,
not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others,
but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts,
and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,
the chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respect.

“Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships
and decide not to surrender,
that is strength.”
"Strength is a matter of a made up mind."

“The most important thing to remember is this:
To be ready at any moment to give up what you are
for what you might become.”
“By thought, the thing you want is brought to you.
By action, you receive it.”
“The problem is that most people focus on
their failures rather than their successes.
But the truth is that most people have many more successes than failures.”

“You've got to get up every morning with determination
if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.”
“Keep your dreams alive.
Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself,
vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.
Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”

I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up
and look for the circumstances they want,
and if they can't find them,
make them

“Dream as if you'll live forever,
live as if you'll die today.”
“Life is full of beauty.
Notice it.
Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and feel the wind.
Live your life to the fullest potential,
and fight for your dreams.”
