Experience in life

"An individual has a healthy personality to the exact degree to which they have the propensity to look for the good in every situation."

"In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are consequences."

"People try to rain on your parade, because they have no parade of their own."

"If you view all the things that happen to you, both good and bad, as opportunities, then you operate out of a higher level of consciousness."

"Do the kinds of things that come from your heart. When you do you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for someone else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes back."

"If high heels were so wonderful, men would be wearing them."

"A mind that has been stretched will never return to its original dimension."

"99% of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses."

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being."

"Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted."

"I believe that none of us ever fails at anything. Every time we create something we are successful at creation. However, we do make some poor choices about what we create."

"I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change."

"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."

"A dose of adversity is often as needful as a dose of medicine."

"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
