Talk To YourselfThe words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewelsSchedule Worry BreaksMost of the things we worry about never happen.
If we are facing a difficulty, it is easy to spend all our walking hours focusing on it. Instead, I recommended that you schedule fixed times to worry, say, thirty minutes every evening. During this worry session, you may wallow in your problems and brood over your difficulties. But after that period ends, you must train yourself to leave your troubles behind and do something more
productive.Remember, Genius Is 99 Percent InspirationThomas Edison: Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.
Woodrow Wilson: You are not here to merely make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.Care for the TempleIn a sound body rests a sound mind. It also made me realize that our bodies need to be treated like temples and considered sacred if we hope to live life fully and completely.Learn to Be SilentThoreau : It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is what are you so busy about?
The man had only a limited amount of oil to keep his beacon lit so that passing ships could avoid the rocky shore. One night, a man who lived close by needed to borrow some of this precious commodity to light his home, so the lighthouse keeper gave him some of his own. Another night, a traveler begged for some oil to light his lamp so he could keep on travelling. The lighthouse keeper also compiled with this request and gave him the amount he needed. The next night, the lighthouse keeper was awakened by a mother banging on his door. She prayed for some oil so that she could illuminate her home and feed her family. Again he agreed. Soon all his oil was gone and his beacon went out. Many ships ran aground and many lives were lost because the lighthouse keeper forgot to focus on his priority. He neglected his primary duty and paid a high price. Experiencing solitude, for even a few minutes a day, will keep you centered on your highest life priorities and help you avoid the neglect that pervades the lives of so many of us.Think About Your Ideal NeighborhoodFamous personalities:Normal Vincent Peale, the famed author of The Power of Positive ThinkingHenry David Thoreau, the great American philosopher and the author of WaldenOg Mandino , self help author of such classics as A Better Way to Live and University of SuccessMuhammad Ali, the world champion boxerBenjamin FranklinLeonardo da VinciAmelia EarhartSam WaltonBen Franklin- guidance on issues involving characterAlbert Schweitzer to remind me of the importance of service to othersBruce Lee for advice on self adviceViktor Frankl, famed holocaust survivor for guidance about how to deal with adversity.Get Up EarlyGetting up early is a gift you give to yourself.

Time seems to slow down and a deep sense of peace fills the air. Joining the Five o Clock Club will allow you to start controlling your day rather than letting your day control you.
