words to live by
Published Sep. 18, 2008
Good words to live by:
Whatever you do have, you could have had less; someone else has had less.
Situations will seldom turn out as badly as you imagine they will.
Don’t worry about the unknown; it’s as likely to be good as it is bad.
Never lose your hope, even if you lose all else.
A good attitude will always make a bad situation better.
Never complain about anything that you can change.
The more positive you are, the more positive others are towards to you.
Decide what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.
Believe in your ideas and actions; follow them through without hesitation.
Endless preparation is worse than action without planning.
Hesitation results in missed opportunities; missed opportunities result in regret and dissatisfaction.
Stop thinking about what is happening to you; start thinking about what you can make happen.
Having choices and making decisions is a privilege; don’t waste it by being scared of making mistakes.
You have to create for yourself; it’s no-one else’s responsibility.
Confidence and motivation make anyone better at anything.
Everyone is good at something and everything has the potential to make you a success.
Failing something doesn't make you a failure.
Achieving requires patience; it takes time and hard work.
There are always different ways of getting the same result; help yourself by having options and alternatives.
Know what you expect of yourself; meeting those expectations, and not those that others have of you, should be your aim.
It's not about who wins or who is the most successful; it's about how much progress you make.
Always be willing to meet new people; they bring new opinions, ideas and experiences.
There are lots of people who smile, love and help others; find them and they’ll make your world a better place.
Making others laugh gives them a break from every problem that they have; it’s a great gift to give.
Collectively, the small things you say and do make a big difference.
People do things for reasons; not knowing or understanding them doesn't make them any less valid.
We are here to enjoy what is around us, not to stop others from enjoying what is around them.
Don’t worry about unanswered questions; having the answers is not essential to enjoying the experience.
Admitting you're wrong and changing your mind is better than continuing to be wrong.
Routines hold back progress; regularly change what you do or how you do it.
To fight change is to fight nature; it’s a fight you can’t win.
The only thing you can be certain of improving is yourself.
See the world as a good place despite everything in it not being good.
You’re free to love anyone, anything or any place; no-one can take that away from you.
You need something to eat, somewhere to sleep and someone to love; focus on these essentials and be happier for it.
When you find what you're searching for, the costs and pains of the search become insignificant.
There's no one answer or principle that will guide you everyday.
