“When you get, give. When you learn, teach.”

Don’t look where you fall, but where you slipped. ~ African Proverb

Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.

To see things in the seed, that is genius. ~ Lao-tzu

Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks.

And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing.

Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. ~ G.K. Chesterton
