“The road of life is paved with daily successes, a great number of them penny and nickle triumphs. Sadly, these little feats are often seen as worthless―even failures―because we dream of greater gain. Our greed keeps us focused on a gleaming pot of gold waiting at the end of some elusive rainbow. And, despairing a big loss, we fail to see the value in small achievements.”
“We will continue to chase rainbows unless we recognize that they are rainbows and there is no pot of gold at the end of them.”
“At the end of the rainbow waited the pot of gold. But rainbows were made of faint and fragile gossamer-and gold weighed a ton-and since the world began, gold was the reason to do most anything.”
“Success comes to us when we have a burning desire to achieve and we focus our full power on achieving that.”
“Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.”
“Gratitude is the real treasure God wants us to find, because it isn't the pot of gold but the rainbow that colors our world.”
