“Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your destiny! Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!” 
― Steve Maraboli

Excerpts from “How to stop worrying and start living” by Dale Carnegie

 “Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” Thomas Carlyle

 • Christ’s prayer: Give us this day our daily bread.

 • Have no anxiety for tomorrow. 

• Live in day-tight compartments.  

Good thinking deals with causes and effects and leads to logical, constructive planning; bad thinking frequently leads to tension and nervous breakdowns.  I want you think of your life as an hourglass. You know there are thousands of grains of sand in the top of hourglass; and they will pass slowly and evenly through the narrow neck in the middle. Nothing you or I could do would make more than one grain of sand pass through this narrow neck without impairing hourglass. You and I and everyone else are like this hourglass. When we start in the morning, there are hundreds of tasks which we feel that we must accomplish that day, but if we do not take them one at a time and let them pass through the day slowly and evenly, as do the grains of sand passing through the narrow neck of hourglass, then we are bound to break our own physical and mental structure.  

“Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.” Robert Louis Stevenson. 

Every day is a new life to a wise man.
