Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuits.

Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.

Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. The question I have for you at this part of our journey together is, “What is your genius?"

Those with a “growth mindset” believe that their talents and abilities can be developed. Fixed mindsets see every encounter as a test of their worthiness. Growth mindsets see the same encounters as opportunities to improve.

The main reason intuition is so important is this: It is a clear sign that you are connecting with your inner spiritual guidance system. Intuition is a direct signal from your deepest self that you are navigating from your true center.
