A positve thinker learns to knock the "t" off the "can't".
Times change. Old methods won't take you to new goals. What you learned last year is outdaed this year. Full speed ahead is the order of the day.
Life is a mirror. Frown at it and it will frown back. Smile at it and it will return the greeting.
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit. Conrad Hilton
Begin, and you are halfway there. Philosopher Alfred A. Montapert
A more modern version: Just do it. Don't procrastinate, begin now.
How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself - so always think positively.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Martin Luther King Jr
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.
Lets not make excuses, lets just do it...
A positive attitude won't let you do anything. But it will let you do everything better than a negative attitude will. Zig Ziglar
Quality is not an act, it is a habit. Aristole
Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.
What do you see during those rainy days? Rainbows of opportunity or gloomy clouds? Each of us are responsible for the way our day is going. Yes, there will always be events beyond our conrol, look for the rainbows instead of gray clouds. We are responsible for our own attitude and success.
One of the best things people can have up their sleeves is a funny bone.
The way we see the problem or solution ... is ... the problem or solution.
The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.
Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you.
Happiness doesn't depend on what you have. It depends on how you feel about what you have. Be thankful for each day. Count your blessings instead of your problems.
You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can. President Jimmy Carter
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.
Be positive; then pass it on.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little extra.
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Remember, a positive attitude is an "inside" job.
Think positively and good things will happen. If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you like to win but don't think you can, it's almost certain that you won't. Lifes battles don't always go to the stronger woman or man but sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.
Try Jesus! If you don't like Him, Satan will always take you back.
Live and be happy.
