Pearls of wisdom

"Share these pearls of wisdom with your Grad, your Dad, or anyone who
may benefit from this practical advice for living a successful,
positive life—everyday! "

Chasing success is like trying to squeeze a handful of water. The
tighter you squeeze, the less water you get. When you chase it, your
life becomes the chase, and you become a victim of always wanting
more.
{{

If you refuse to change your job (if you don’t like it), the only
sensible thing you can do is practice loving it every day.
{{

Enjoy everything that happens in your life, but never make your
happiness or success dependent on an attachment to any person,
place, or thing.
{{

The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as
if what you want is already there, the more you’ll activate those
dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into
your reality.
{{

Most people are searching for happiness outside of themselves.
That’s a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something you are, and it
comes from the way you think.
{{

You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest
to be judged better than some and worse than others.
{{

Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored . . .
boredom is a choice.
 {{

Treat yourself and others with kindness when you eat, exercise,
play, work, love, and everything else.
{{

Money—like health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that
you want to create for yourself—is the result of living
purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself.
{{

The opposite of courage is not so much fear as it is conformity.
{{

Try viewing everyone who comes into your life as a teacher.
{{

Forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself. If
you can’t learn to forgive, you can forget about achieving true
success in your life.
{{

There are limits to material growth, but there are no limits to
inner enlightenment.
