“Keep in mind that part of growing up is dealing with difficult issues, and the benefits can be great if you have the courage to ask for help. Human beings are not designed to go through life alone. No one has to bear the burden of tough times all by themselves.”

“As you take a few minutes each day to quiet your mind, you will discover a nice benefit: your everyday, "ordinary" life will begin to seem far more extraordinary. Little things thatpreviously went unnoticed will begin to please you. You'll be more easily satisfied, and happier all around. Rather than focusing on what's wrong with your life, you'll find yourself thinking about and more fully enjoying what's right with your life. The world won't change, but your perception of it will. You'll start to notice thelittle acts of kindness and caring from other people rather than the negativity and anger.”

“You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going. Babies don't walk the first time they try, but eventually they get it right”

“If you are going to be successful, you need to give up the phrase, "I can't" & all of its cousins, such as "I wish I were able to.”

“The true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness. It is here in the present. It asks of us a welcoming spirit to greet all that life presents to us with a wise, respectful, and kindly heart. We can bow to both beauty and suffering, to our entanglements and confusion, to our fears and to the injustices of the world. Honoring the truth in this way is the path to freedom.”

“Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.”

“Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possiblefor you. And then close your eyes and every day for several minutes, and visualize having whatyou already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on whatyou’re grateful for already, and really enjoy it. Then go into your day and release it to theUniverse and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it. “Jack Canfield”
