If you stop focusing on all the reasons why you can’t do it, you just may surprise yourself to see what you can do.
~ Frank Sonnenberg
Paradise is not a place, it’s a state of mind.
Respect is priceless. Earn it every day!
Always give everything 110 percent. It's the extra 10 percent that everyone remembers.
Values are like a pilot’s flight plan . . . without them you’re flying blind.
Dreams, unlike eggs, don’t hatch from sitting on them.
Measuring progress is often like watching grass grow. While it’s difficult to detect movement on a daily basis, it’s simple to see growth over time.
The next time someone says, ‘The odds are against you,’ remember: If you don’t try, you forfeit the opportunity.
Ask yourself whether the problem will matter in a year or two. If not, it may be a trivial issue unworthy of your concern.
The only way an annoyance can bring you down is if you let it.
Every time you give your word, you’re putting your honor on the line.
Given the option, would you rather choose the right path, even though it’s difficult, or the easy route, knowing that you’ll be compromising your standards?
Winning without honor, is worse than a resounding defeat.
Knowing what’s right isn’t as important as doing what’s right.
Everything has a price, but not everything should be for sale.
Feedback is helpful and constructive, criticism is hurtful and damaging.
Shared beliefs and values form the heart of every successful relationship and ultimately determine its success.
If someone chooses to live a certain way, and it doesn’t infringe on anyone’s freedom, it’s their choice to make.
Listen to your conscience. You have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.
Follow your conscience. Sleep well.
It’s easy to tune out your critics, but difficult to turn off your conscience.
Appreciate what you have, while you have it, or you’ll learn what it meant to you after you lose it.
Make a life while making a living.
When you make a promise, you’re not giving your word in erasable pencil, you’re inscribing your commitment in indelible ink.
Actions Matter: Do As I Do. Not As I Say.
No one has the right to force his or her way of life on anyone else.
We can’t expect others to abandon their values any more than we would forsake our own.
Failing one time — or even several times — doesn’t make you a failure any more than losing one game makes you a loser.
You’ll never learn anything or impress anyone by making excuses and diverting blame.
