If you’re going to doubt something, 

doubt your own limits.

- Christopher Columbus

"You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore."

- A Course in Miracles

Perception is choice not fact.

But on this choice depends far more

than you may realize as yet.

For on the voice you choose to hear,

and on the sights you choose to see,

depends entirely your whole belief in who you are.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

What a new face courage puts on everything! 

A determined man, 

by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, 

puts a stop to defeat and begins to conquer.

- Buddha

Overcome the angry by non-anger;
overcome the wicked by goodness;
overcome the miser by generosity;
overcome the liar by truth.

- Esther Hicks

Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel-and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good.

- Dr. David M. Burns,

"Aim for success, not perfection. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person."

- Byron Katie

"It's not your job to like me - it's mine."
"Would you rather be right or free?"

- Shel Silverstein

Listen to the MUSN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me - Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

- Muhammad Ali

"I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want."

- Og Mandino

"I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge."
