    “Lying makes a problem part of the future; truth makes a problem part of the past.” ~ Rick Pitino

      “One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

        “If you raise your standards but don’t really believe you can meet them, you’ve already sabotaged yourself. You won’t even try; you’ll be lacking the sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity that’s within you… Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and impossible and what we can and can not do. They shape every action, every thought and every feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives.” ~ Anthony Robbins

        Kimo’s Hawaiian Rules

          Never judge a day by the weather

          The best things in life aren’t things

          Tell the truth – there’s less to remember

          Speak softly and wear a loud shirt

          Goals are deceptive – the unaimed arrow never misses

          He who dies with the most toys – still dies

          Age is relative – when you’re over the hill, you pick up speed

          There are two ways to be rich – make more or desire less

          Beauty is internal – looks mean nothing

          No Rain – No Rainbows

            “No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.” ~ Confucius

              “Leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves.” ~ Stephen Covey

                “My temptation is emotional, and resisting will further my needed weight loss and strengthen my character.  Furthermore, nothing tastes as good as thin feels.” ~ Stephen Covey

                  “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, you ought to set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” ~ Seth Godin

                    “When the morning’s freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles quiver under the strain, the climb seems endless, and, suddenly, nothing will go quite as you wish – it is then that you must not hesitate.” ~ Dag Hammarskjold

                    ‘Tis the Set of the Sail — or — One Ship Sails East

                      But to every mind there openeth,
                      A way, and way, and away,
                      A high soul climbs the highway,
                      And the low soul gropes the low,
                      And in between on the misty flats,
                      The rest drift to and fro.

                      But to every man there openeth,
                      A high way and a low,
                      And every mind decideth,
                      The way his soul shall go.

                      One ship sails East,
                      And another West,
                      By the self-same winds that blow,
                      ‘Tis the set of the sails
                      And not the gales,
                      That tells the way we go.

                      Like the winds of the sea
                      Are the waves of time,
                      As we journey along through life,
                      ‘Tis the set of the soul,
                      That determines the goal,
                      And not the calm or the strife.

                      ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

                        “The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.  And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.” ~ R.D. Laing

                          “Between stimulus and response there is a space.  In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.  In those choices lie our growth and our happiness.” ~ Victor Frankl

                            “All children are born geniuses; 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently degeniusized by grownups.” ~ Buckminster Fuller

                              “A person only profits from praise when he values criticism.” ~ Heinrich Heine, German Poet

                                “Don’t mind criticism.  If it is untrue, disregard it;  if unfair, keep from irritation; if it is ignorant, smile;  if it is justified, it is not criticism – learn from it.” ~ Unknown

                                  “Self-knowledge is best learned, not by contemplation, but by action.  Strive to do your duty and you will soon discover of what stuff you are made.” ~ Johann Goethe

                                    “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

                                      “There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.” ~ Dalai Lama

                                        “It’s okay to be sad when you mess up, but don’t dwell for too long. The mistake has already been made, and you can’t erase the fact that it happened. You can either learn from it or mope about it. The choice is yours, but remember, we are only human; we were born to make mistakes.  Simply put, if you have never made a mistake in your life, then that means that you have never taken a risk.  Taking risks means that you go outside of your comfort zone – that you go outside of your boundaries. The most successful people are the ones who are not afraid to give it their all and possibly humiliate themselves greatly in front of others.  It’s like that one saying, ‘The person who asks a question is a fool for five minutes, but the person who never asks and remains silent is a fool forever.’  You choose the way you want to live your life.” ~ Cynthia Amy Tang

                                          “People want to be recognized.  They want to be celebrated in some way.  They want to be made to feel as if they really do count for something.  And they want a place where they can belong in the community that stands for something more than just an enterprise that makes money.” ~ Martin Coles, Starbucks International President
