    “If you continue to think about how poor you are, you will become rich with poor thoughts.” ~ Byron Buchannan

      “Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity.” ~ Warren Bennis

        “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it stands than to anything on which it is poured.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

          “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
