QUOTES OF DENIS WAITLEY A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shinning star in whose light others may follow in the years to come. A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside. As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time. Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable. Chase your passion, not your pension. Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods. Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you. Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself. Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer. Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time. Everything is something you decide to do, and there is nothing you have to do. Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away. Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy. Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. I had the blues because I had no shoes until upon the street, I met a man who had no feet. If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit. Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now. Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing. Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life. Life is the movie you see through your own eyes. It makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how you take it that counts. Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision. Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future. Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep. Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience. Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience. No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself. One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project. Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon. Out of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win. Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success. Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes our self-image. Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well. Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning. That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes. The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
