Goals

If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
Dolly Parton

Decide

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.
Ziggy

It's all about the attitude and the only one that you have control over is your attitude. Looking at things from a different perspective/ angle changes the whole situation. It's up to you if you want to waste your time moaning and complaining about things or make a change. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason (even so there are moments when I don't see the reason behind certain situations) and sooner or later we will understand.

Believe

I don't believe in failure.

Oprah Winfrey

Believe in yourself and you will never fail. 

Believe in yourself

Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievements. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.

Norman Vincent Peale

Optimism

Optimism is the foundation of courage.
Nicholas Murray Butler

Always think of what you can do and what is possible and not the opposite. Make sure you look at things realistically, otherwise you will end up taking foolish risks without accomplishing anything. Be bold, but don't be stupid. 

Time

We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda

Don't worry

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.
Anonymous

Present

The present is what slips by us while we're pondering the past and worrying about the future.
Ziggy

Luck

I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
Thomas Jefferson

Courage

In our lives we have two or three opportunities to be a hero, but almost every day, we have the opportunity not to be a coward. Spanish proverb

Time

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.
Jean de la Bruyere

Just do something

Everyone is an athlete. The only difference is that some of us are in training and some are not.
George Sheehan

Right place, right time

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.
Albert Einstein

Success or value

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
Albert Einstein

Choices

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. 

Flora Whittemore

Only one

I am only one, but still, I am one. I cannot do everything but I can do something. And, because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do what I can.
Edward Everett Hale

Reading

To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. 

Edmund Burke

Listening

A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he gets to know something.

Wilson Mizner

Problem or opportunity

Effective people are not problem-minded; they are opportunity-minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.
Stephen Covey

The same idea over and over again - when you are faced with a problem that you tell yourself you cannot solve, you are right. But if you believe you can sort it, you are right again. It's all in the mind. 

Success vs failure

Never hide behind busy work. It takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed.
Og Mandino

Funny enough, people who keep complaining about how busy they are, get promoted. The others who are simply doing what they are supposed to do without complaining, get the message that they should be grateful for keeping their jobs. 
Indeed, it takes the same amount of energy to fail or succeed, but it is used completely different.

Time

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.
Michael Althsuler

Money, money. money

The problem with being in the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.
Lily Tromlin

Learning

Take what you can use and let the rest go by.
Ken Kesey

Keep the positive things, but also look at the hard things, mistakes that you might have made and learn from all these experiences. All of our lives have ups and downs, and even though you can't live in the past, you can't forget it either. 

Life

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. 

Josh Billings

Book

The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. 

James Bryce

Celebrate

Celebrate we will because life is short but sweet for certain.
Dave Matthews Band

Us vs others

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Gustav Jung

Be grateful

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Dr Seuss

Experience

Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.
Aldous Huxley

Become a curator of life. Edit. Leave out the junk. But when you find something worth keeping - treasure it!
