“I’m adaptable. I don’t need the day to go perfectly to make it a good one.”
“It’s not my job to tell myself no. The world will offer plenty of obstacles. I don’t need to add to them. My mind is my friend. I am my own biggest believer.”
“I try to live to a standard, not the circumstances of the day. Some days it is easy. Some days it is hard. But I do it either way because that’s who I want to be, not because it is always easy to do.”
James Clear
If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.
Leo Tolstoy
“The best revenge is not to be like that.”
Marcus Aurelius
“Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”
W. H. Murray,
Scottish mountaineer and writer
