The essence of life does not consist in the lushness of your possessions, but in the richness of your heart.
Be thankful for the efforts of people who worked hard to get you where you are; you should not take it for granted and treat them with indifference.
Those who win never give up. Those who give up never win.
Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Grateful people are happy people. The more things you are grateful for, the happier you will be.
Those who win never quit; those who quit never win.
Patience, more than the ability to bear pains or endure waiting, is to be calm no matter what happens – constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities – and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.
Comfort zone: simply means the routine of one’s daily life – it is a psychological state in which one feels familiar, safe, at ease, and secure.
Learning to focus on the big picture will help you keep things in a proper perspective.

Today I wore a pair of faded old jeans and a plain grey baggy shirt. I hadn't even taken a shower, and I did not put on an ounce of makeup. I grabbed a worn out black oversized jacket to cover myself with even though it is warm outside. I have made conscious decisions lately to look like less of what I felt a male would want to see. I want to disappear.
