A HUNTER DOES NOT STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND DETERMINE WHICH ANIMAL FALLS INTO ITS TRAP

Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for
celebration.

You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!

The greatest essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy. Dalai Lama



There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
W. Clement Stone


People of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others. They do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else.Nathaniel Branden

Today's Inspirational Quotes:

Keep a good heart. That's the most important thing in life. It's not how much money you make or what you can acquire. The art of it is to keep a good heart. --- Joni Mitchell

something to love, and something to hope for.

fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is
the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes
the harvest and the playtime."
