“Speaking negatively about others spoils the relationship, atmosphere, and my own well-being”

“A true friend is a priceless gift. When we reveal our hopes, our dreams, and our deepest secrets to others, and they still like and respect us, such people are to be cherished. All too often, the only reason others wish to spend time with us — to be our friends — is because of what they perceive we can do for them, not the other way around. A real friendship is reciprocal, one in which each friend benefits equally. You can earn the friendship of others by being the kind of person who deserves respect from friends. When others look up to you, it should make you even more conscious of the responsibility you have to treat them with the same respect you would like them to afford you.”
— Napoleon Hill
“If you’re not being creative and proactive in orchestrating a positive life experience for yourself, your primary mind will step in to fill the void with its habitual problem and task focus.”
— William DeFoore
“The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself.”
— Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
“If we don’t forgive ourselves for our mistakes, and others for the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled with guilt. And the soul cannot grow under a blanket of guilt, because guilt is isolating, while growth is a gradual process of reconnection to ourselves, to other people, and to a larger whole.”
— Joan Borysenko
“When you are grateful for the gifts in your life, big and small, you always seem to find more things to be grateful about.
Remember: Abundance will flow into our life when gratitude flows out of our heart.”
— Jon Gordon
“You can use every piece of information that comes to you to lift you and make you stronger, better, and more effective. To seek perfection on this level is folly, but to seek excellence is to improve the last state you were in and to work on the one you’re moving into. To improve the last state you were in is also moving you to the next state.”
