WHEN you close the door of your mind to negative thoughts, the door of opportunity opens to you.
Your progress in life begins in your own mind and ends in the same place.
Don’t look to the stars for the cause of your misfortunes.
Look to yourself to get better results.
Many successful people have found opportunities in failure and adversity that they could not recognise in more favourable circumstances.
There always remains an opportunity to make a new start.
Failure seems to be nature’s plan for preparing us for great responsibilities.
It is always safe to talk about others as long as you speak of their good qualities.
Those who can’t take directions graciously have no business giving them.
You can do it if you believe you can.
Remember that no one can hurt your feelings without your cooperation and willingness.
A positive mind finds a way it can be done.
A negative mind looks for all the ways it can’t be done.
The worst thing about worry is that it attracts a whole flock of relatives.
Never tear down anything unless you are prepared to build something better in its place.
The value of actions depends on the courage they require.
If you don’t believe in yourself, don’t ask anyone else to do so.
Your real courage shows best in the hour of adversity.
You can’t control other peoples’ acts, but you can control your reaction to their acts, and that is what counts most to you.
Don’t wait for success to arrive – go out to find where it is hiding.
