Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.

What has happened has happened and it is now behind you. Take the best of it all as you move positively forward.

Life is not always easy. And that is a major reason why it is so precious. Many of life's best rewards are possible only because you must work your way through difficult challenges to get to them. If everything in life were easy, there would be no opportunity for real fulfillment.

Being truly thankful makes you infinitely more resourceful. By sincerely appreciating what you have, you find new and valuable ways to make use of it.

In the midday sun, a bright light will be barely noticed. Yet in the darkest night, even the smallest light can make an enormous difference.

Dare to dream big dreams. For those are the dreams that have the power to push your whole world forward.

You are here, and there is nothing to fear. Count your blessings and before you're finished counting, youll have even more.

Procrastinating, fighting and avoiding will only make it more difficult. The way out is to get it done.

Sure, it's easy to be upbeat when everything is going your way. Anyone can do that. It is far more important, however, to take a positive approach in circumstances that most people would view as negative.

Life does not owe you anything, because life has already given you everything.

Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.

Sure, there are many bad things that can happen. Yet you can be aware of them, and realistic about them, without being obsessed and consumed by them.

When you're not afraid to fail, you'll most certainly have the confidence to succeed.

In every kind of endeavor, there are ample opportunities for extra effort. Grab those opportunities, embrace that extra effort and transform ordinary mediocrity into bright and shining excellence.

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.

Remember why you started, remember where you're headed, think of how great it will be to get there, and keep going.

Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you'll have much to live for.

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it -- would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.

Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open.

Welcome those big, sticky, complicated problems. In them are your most powerful opportunities.
