If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself

“Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don’t quit when you are tired — you quit when the gorilla is tired.”

“You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world.”

Bad things will happen. Buy light trumps darkness. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can’t stick the dark into the light

Everybody’s got a past. The past does not equal the future unless you live there

Speak little; do much. Well done is better than well said.

It doesn’t matter who you are, or where you come from. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.

What we perceive as a failure may simply be our way of telling ourselves that we are ready to move to a new level of growth.
