Reset, readjust, restart, refocus.As many times as you need to.
Just don't quit!
I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear.
So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.
-- Michael Jordan
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.
But,instead of what our imagination makes us suppose and which we worthless try to discover,life gives us something that we could hardly imagine.
The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions that we feel expand it, those that we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains.
Everything that seems imperishable tends to extinguishment.
Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us.
My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.
We don't receive wisdom we must discover it for ourselves.
We have such numerous interests in our lives that it is not uncommon, on a single occasion, for the foundations of a happiness that does not yet exist to be laid down alongside the intensification of a grief from which we are still suffering.
Reading is at the threshold of the spiritual life; it can introduce us to it. It does not constitute it ... There are certain cases of spiritual depression in which reading can become a sort of curative discipline ... reintroducing a lazy mind into the life of the Spirit.
It is not because other people are dead that our affection for them grows faint, it is because we ourselves are dying.
The creation of the world did not occur at the beginning of time, it occurs every day.
One says the things which one feels the need to say, and which the other will not understand: one speaks for oneself alone.
When one feels oneself smitten by love for a woman, one ought to say to oneself, “What are her surroundings? What has been her life? All one’s future happiness lies in the answer.
... the idea that 'Life' contains situations more interesting and more romantic than all the romances ever written.
... there was no need for him to hasten towards the attainment of a happiness already captured and held in a safe place, which would not escape his grasp again.
The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions expand it, those that we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains.
... Error, by force of contrast, enhances the triumph of Truth...
Neither our greatest fears nor our greatest hopes are beyond the limits of our strength – we are able in the end to dominate the first and to achieve the second.
So rarely do we meet either with easy success or with irreversible defeat.
Love is an incurable disease. In love, there is permanent suffering. Those who love and those who are happy are not the same
Love is a trap and only reveals itself to us by making us suffer.
Love? I make it often, but I never talk about it.
Motivation is a byproduct of action, not the catalyst for it.
Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Today is a new day. Stop living in the past.
Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.
You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great.
Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
