“Keep close to Nature’s heart…and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.Wash your spirit clean.”
— John Muir
“Breathe fresh air, and feel the earth beneath your bare feet. Your body will thank you.”
— William DeFoore
“Although it is always better to live with conviction and enthusiasm,some days it is better just to go through the motions than to do nothing.Smile even when you feel grumpy.Meditate or Pray even when you have nothing to say to God.Cook a healthy meal even when you are tired.Walk or exercise even when the thought doesn’t excite you.”
— Jonathan Lockwood Huie
“Act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you act.”
— Leonard Cohen
“Repeat anything often enough and it will start to become you.”
— Tom Hopkins
“A smile that begins as an effort and a pretense quickly grows to become genuine,and given time, a habit of happiness.”
— Jonathan Lockwood Huie
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
“Successful people are decisive. They don’t agonize over decisions and thereby miss out on a great opportunity. They gather the relevant information, discuss alternatives with advisers whose opinions they respect, and then make a decision and get on with it. Indecision creates the worst kind of paralysis and, left unattended, can permanently damage you and your organization. If you have trouble making decisions, remember that there are few decisions that are irreversible. If you later discover that you were wrong, correct your course and move on.”
— Napoleon Hill
“Someone once said that no one can really motivate anyone else; all we can do is motivate ourselves and hope it catches on. You will probably never know how much you influence others with your behavior. When you always go the extra mile, you will influence those in your circle of friends and acquaintances, your family, your co-workers, and even your bosses to do more and better than they have done before. Your value to yourself and others is greatly enhanced by your ability to influence others to be happier, more productive people. There are no salary caps or career limits for those who lead others to great heights of success. Such people are simply too valuable.”
— Napoleon Hill
