I was born with the idea that I had to be perfect in all things because deep down I felt like one big fat nothing at everything. All my life, my brain has sent out false warning signals.

Zamiast planować lepsze życie, zacznij lepiej żyć

Żeby dowiedzieć się, kim jesteś, pożegnaj się z tym kim nie jesteś

Daj innym drugą szansę zrobić pierwsze wrażenie

Nie musisz płynąć pod prąd, żeby zdobyć to, czego pragniesz

Nigdy nie myl życia zawodowego z prawdziwym życiem

Czasem praca, o której marzysz, to praca, którą masz

Masz wpływ na swoje przeznaczenie

Nikt nie może pozbawić cię energi bez twojej zgody

W życiu nie chodzi o to, żeby pędzić przed siebie

Nie zmieniaj dzielnicy na lepszą, tylko na lepsze

Czasem zmieniasz swoją misję chwila po chwili

To co wygląda na koniec, może być nowym początkiem

Zobacz w porażce krok do sukcesu

Zamiast próbować być najlepszy na świecie, bądź najlepszy dla świata

Nie myl swojej pracy ze swoją wartością

Celuj w księżyc, bo nawet jeśli chybisz, znajdziesz się wśród gwiazd

Po czym poznać, że jesteś dorosły? Trzymasz w lodówce więcej jedzenia niż piwa.

Rozszerz swoją strefę komfortu, żeby poprawić komfort innych

Gdziekolwiek pójdziesz tam jesteś

Niektóre lata przynoszą pytania, inne przynoszą odpowiedzi

Warto wiedzieć, co jest twoją supermocą i twoim kryptonitem

Nie wszystko, co się liczy, jest policzalne

To, że ktoś podąża inną ścieżką niż ty, nie znaczy jeszcze, że się zgubił

Stwórz coś cudownego tam, gdzie jesteś

Żeby przeżyć, musisz brać; żeby żyć, musisz dawać

Bądź czyimś bohaterem

Żeby nawiązywać kontakty, musimy być w kontakcie

Jeśli nie chcesz niczego żałować pod koniec życia, nie żaluj niczego pod koniec dnia

Znajdź swój Święty Graal. Bądź tym, kim Bóg che, żebyś był, a rozpalisz cały świat

Kiedy nie dostajesz tego, co chcesz, dostajesz coś lepszego - doświadczenie

Wszyskto się zmienia, kiedy ty się zmieniasz

Jeśli ukryjesz swój talent, nigdy nie rozkwitnie

Każda praca ma w sobie tyle magii, ile jej dostrzegasz

A może przestańmy organizować dzieciom każdą minutę dnia i pozwólmy im nudzić się tak długo żeby odkryły swoją wyobraźnię. Może przy okazji odnajdziemy własną.

Świat potrzebuje ludzi, którzy żyją pełnią życia

Najlepsze co możesz zrobić ze swoim życiem, to kochać

W świecie, w którym możesz być, kim tylko zechcesz, bądź sobą

Nic nie przydarza się tobie - wszystko dzieje się dla ciebie i dla innych

Sam decydujesz, ile jesteś wart

Jeśli masz w coś wątpić, zwątp w swoje wątpliwości

Living an abundant life doesn’t mean winning the lottery, marrying rich, or getting a raise. It starts with a raise in consciousness and spreads from there.

I used to think only people like Mother Teresa and Gandhi had a mission in life. We all have one. How do you find it? You listen to your life. All those dead-end jobs? There's no such thing. In God's economy, nothing is ever wasted. The dots all connect in time.
