1. Balance & Vitality!
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you’ve lost it.
If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.
There is no such thing as ‘Achieving Balance’ because if you do, it is only momentary. The important thing to know is whether you’re moving ‘towards’ or ‘away from’ Balance.

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.
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.
4. Get Organized!
You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.
How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever.
It is not important to be successful at what you undertake, but rather to undertake what you’d like to succeed at.
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
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.
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.
The successful man is the average man, focused.
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.
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
5. Love & Relationships!
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.
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.
A true friend is someone who thinks you’re a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
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.
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
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.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.
If you must love your neighbor as yourself, it is at least as fair to love yourself as your neighbor.

You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate, is strength undefeatable.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
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!
8. Wisdom & Spirituality
You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.
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. Look within – the answers to what is truly kind to yourself are always to be found in pausing, a deep breath and a connection with our deepest selves.
Freedom is what you do with what’s been done to you.
The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty – it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality.
Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself.
The heart is wiser than the intellect.
Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
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.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
If I’d asked my customers what they wanted, they’d have said faster horses.
