1. Balance & Vitality!
Something’s got to give. Don’t let it be you.
So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health.
We rise to great heights by a winding staircase of small steps.
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.
Be afraid not of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
My own prescription for health is less paperwork and more running barefoot through the grass.
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I’ve written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
2. Confidence & Authenticity!
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.
Where do you need to think for yourself? When we begin to cultivate awareness of our thoughts and emotions, we begin to see just how much we live according to other people’s and society’s beliefs and actions. Don’t get upset by this. Just get in touch with how you really think and feel inside and begin to express your authenticity.
I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.
Too often we don’t trust our own deepest truth; it makes us feel too vulnerable or it seems incongruous with the person we think we are or must be.
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.
A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
3. Feelings & Emotions
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
Where do you need to think for yourself? When we begin to cultivate awareness of our thoughts and emotions, we begin to see just how much we live according to other people’s and society’s beliefs and actions. Don’t get upset by this.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.
We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.
Guilt is defined as internalized anger over perceived and unwanted obligations.
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.
4. Get Organized!
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
We realize our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time; it is basically a problem of priorities. We confess, we have left undone those things that we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.
It is not important to be successful at what you undertake, but rather to undertake what you’d like to succeed at.
The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started.
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.
Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management. Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices.
If there is anything that I could get you to do, it would be to spend ten to fifteen minutes each morning planning your day. If I could get you to do that, you’d not only scare yourself, you’d intimidate everybody on your block.
How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever.
5. Love & Relationships!
When you do not require a person to show up as you imagine you need them to be, then you can drop expectation. Then you love them exactly as they are. Yet this can only happen when you love your Self exactly as you are
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
If you make a choice that doesn’t please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart – the people who truly love you want you to love yourself.
Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.
Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
If you must love your neighbor as yourself, it is at least as fair to love yourself as your neighbor.
6. Thinking Bigger!
When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad.
We move from the illusion of certainty, to the certainty of illusion
Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.
It is easier for a man to be loyal to his club than to his planet; the bylaws are shorter, and he is personally acquainted with the other members.
It may make your blood boil and your mind may not be changed, but the practice of listening to opposing views is essential for effective citizenship. It is essential for our democracy.

We as women are trained to see ourselves as cheap imitations of fashion photographs, rather than seeing fashion photographs as cheap imitations of women.
7. Vision, Goals & Taking Action!
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it!
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.
Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone.
It is not important to be successful at what you undertake, but rather to undertake what you’d like to succeed at.
Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
We rise to great heights by a winding staircase of small steps.
8. Wisdom & Spirituality
Sometimes happiness is only a sadness away.
We move from the illusion of certainty, to the certainty of illusion
Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
It may make your blood boil and your mind may not be changed, but the practice of listening to opposing views is essential for effective citizenship. It is essential for our democracy.
Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.
Sometimes being kind means being tough with ourselves. Sometimes it means saying ‘No’ to ourselves or to others. And sometimes it means saying ‘Yes’ to difficult decisions and actions.

9. Work & Career!
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.
When we accept tough jobs as a challenge to our ability and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm, miracles can happen.

It is not important to be successful at what you undertake, but rather to undertake what you’d like to succeed at.
Avoid committees and consensus in developing big, distinctive business model advantages. Individuals have big, distinctive ideas; committees and consensus turn big, distinctive ideas into mundane ideas.
If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have said faster horses.
If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.
