    “By behaving in ways that build trust with one, you build trust with many.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

      “You can say you love someone – but unless you demonstrate that love through your actions, your words become meaningless.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

        “In our own lives, having a mind-set of expecting to win increases our odds of winning. It helps us get better results. And better results help us increase our credibility and self-confidence, which leads to more positive self-expectancy, and more winning – and the upward cycle continues. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

          “We tend to get what we expect – both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more; when we expect less, we tend to get less.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

            “It’s no use saying, ‘We are doing our best.’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.” ~ Winston Churchill

              “At the end of the day, people follow those who know where they’re going.” ~ Jack Trout

                “It’s not that we ignore our weaknesses; rather, we make our weaknesses irrelevant by working effectively with others so that we compensate for our weaknesses through their strengths and they compensate for their weaknesses through our strengths.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

                  “Be yourself, and let others be themselves.  Do not harm others with your beliefs.  There’s only so much we can know about right and wrong, but as far as I’m able to tell, the genesis of evil lies in forceful ideology.  If we act with mindful compassion over and over again, we can tangentially and unconsciously influence others to do the same.  With such an attitude, one would hope the world would grow more peaceful and intelligent over time.” ~ Unknown, The Daily Zen

                    “There are as many kinds of people as there are people.  Do not fight your own individuality, your own boundless alienation within a world of other aliens.  Bond with your fellow people.  We’re all here alone and might as well help one another out.  Help yourself understand people, and, in doing so, you will help them understand you.  Most importantly, you will come to understand yourself as you evolve and mature.” ~ Unknown, The Daily Zen

                      “Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.” ~ Rachel Naomi Remen

                        “Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.” ~ William James

                          “There is a huge difference between making a life and making a living; which one are you making right now? So many spend their entire lives trying to make as much money as possible so that they can afford to do what they really want later. It makes no sense to settle in life until you’re 65 so that you can retire and do what you want when you’re already WAY past your prime. We only live life once so why wouldn’t you want to spend it pursuing your bliss? To do anything else would be a tragic waste of the freedom you are allowed if you are reading this right now. Follow your bliss and you will be a thousand times more happy than your retirement date and 40+ years younger.” ~ Jordan Lejuwaan, Highexistence.com

                            “Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.” ~ Seneca

                              “The experience of reading a book shouldn’t be about what we’re taught in school. The point is not to know what happened– it’s to respond emotionally and philosophically to the plot, characters and dialogue. A good novel transforms your worldview and informs the decisions you make in your daily life, both conscious and unconscious. Savor each page rather than trying to blaze through the book as if it’s some sort of competition. Some books are meant to be skimmed (often textbooks, interestingly enough), but if you’re reading a classic try to really enjoy it rather than focusing on the goal of being done with it. Focus on the value of each word, fragment, and sentence rather than ‘getting it’ or trying to digest a work in its entirety.” ~ Unknown, The Daily Zen

                                “If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart.” ~ Arabic Proverb

                                  “This is my wish for you: peace of mind, prosperity through the year, happiness that multiplies, health for you and yours, fun around every corner, energy to chase your dreams, joy to fill your holidays!” ~ D.M. Dellinger

                                    “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something. So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.” ~ Neil Gaiman

                                      “Be the calm center in the raging flow of life.” ~ Leo Babauta, Zen Habits

                                        “There are no uninteresting things; there are only uninterested people.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust
