Sometimes the difference between success and failure is simply the degree to which you crave one over the other.

A sincere and warmly-expressed apology can produce the same effects as morphine on a suffering soul.

Some days I feel like my worth is being reevaluated every five minutes.

Have you honestly pondered your individual worth? Consider every lower life form in the world__he animals, plants, fouls and fishes. Consider the land forms and numerous earthly wonders. Consider the countless worlds beyond this planet as well as their stars and galaxies. And then consider yourself. Of all God__ creations, you were formed in His image, resembling the likeness of a God. That__ something to think about.

This is me today, but take heed; it is not the same me as yesterday, and it will not be the same me tomorrow.

The key to success__eep swimming. Even when they tap you on the shoulder to say the pool has been drained, just keep swimming.

You will find there are times you must grasp your life with both hands and forcefully steer it in a new direction and then strain to hold your course until the storms of fear, weakness, and doubt abate.

My goals may seem impossibly far-fetched when really they're not. _Break them down into steps and see how I accomplish great things. _I can easily reach from A to B. _I can manage from B to C. I can then make it from C to D. _And so eventually, I will find my way from A to Z.

You'll be hard-pressed to reach your goals if you don't map out where you're going. Take time to navigate your life.

Raging fires grow from the tiniest spark; it is the same principle at work in_life. As long as there's a spark, tend to your fire. Never give up._
