1) Work on becoming who you want to be.
If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don’t want to be.

2) Never waste a minute thinking about people you don’t like.
Let’s never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let’s do as General Eisenhower does: let’s never waste a minute thinking about people we don’t like.

3) Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, for your character is what you are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

4) Happiness is a state of mind.
Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.

5) Fear is just an illusion.
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

6) Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping-stones to success.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

7) This moment is your life.
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

8) Give up the need to impress others.
One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses.

9) Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn’t you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn’t most of them turn out all right after all?

10) To know all is to forgive all.
Instead of condemning people, let’s try to understand them. Let’s try to figure out why they do what they do. That’s a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance, and kindness.
