Powerful Quotes:

1. Formula for Living:

Do you want to know my formula for living? I get up in the morning, and I go to bed at night. In between, I do the very best I can with what I’ve got, and I never, ever give up. ~Roy Sutton

Life doesn’t have to be complicated.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to get started, then the perfect moment is always right now.

Just get started and do what you can with whatever you’ve got.

No one gets dealt a perfect hand in life.

So play the cards you’ve been dealt and play them as well as you can. Always play to your strengths and keep going.

You’ll get there in the end.

If you can achieve your full potential and leave a lasting legacy behind, then yours will have been a life well lived.

2. Good health:

To keep the body in good health is a duty. Otherwise, we will not be able to keep our minds strong and clear. ~Buddha

A couple of years ago, I was reminded of the importance of taking care of my own health. I was struck down with a kidney infection, and I spent a week in the hospital receiving treatment to help me get over it.

It felt like a week of my life was lost. Not being able to do all the things I’d taken for granted proved very frustrating for me.

Generally, I’ve always tried to look after myself, but I was still unwell. So I’ll try a lot harder in the future.

Never again do I want to feel that unwell.

My time is precious, so above all, I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost any more of it. That would seem like such a waste to me.

If you don’t have your health, then you don’t have very much at all.

3. Happiness:

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it’s something you design for the present. ~Jim Rohn

Postponing your happiness until some unspecified future date would be like putting off having fun until your old age.

Why would that make sense to anyone?

We must be happy in the present moment.

Life isn’t perfect, and for almost everyone, it’s full of challenges, but it’s not all bad.

Happiness is a state of mind.

It’s a willingness to enjoy whatever it is that you have now and a determination not to worry about anything you don’t have.

You look for the positives in your life and try to forget about the negatives.

People often fret about things they don’t have, yet they fail to appreciate the good things in their lives.

Things like family and friends. And things like having a good laugh, too.

In reality, we can live without most stuff, despite what we might think.

It’s people who matter most. People include family, friends, workmates, and ordinary individuals we meet every day throughout our lives.

So enjoy what you have and forget about what you don’t have. You’ll be happier that way.

4. Attitude:

The choice to have a great attitude is something that nobody or no circumstance can take from you. ~Zig Ziglar

Let me tell you, nothing makes a better impression on me than someone with a great attitude.

And nothing makes a worse impression on me than someone with a bad attitude.

Your attitude defines you, and it will also shape your life experiences. That’s a fact, in my experience.

If you’re a Rock star or a Gangsta Rapper then perhaps a little attitude goes with the territory if you aim to appeal to a teenage constituency.

Occasionally, even in the real world, a little attitude might secure you an outcome you wouldn’t otherwise get simply because whoever you’re annoying wants to get rid of you.

However, mostly, a bad attitude will not get you anywhere worth going. Don’t be fooled into thinking otherwise.

You can choose to have a great attitude or not. That choice is yours, and so will be the consequences of your choice.

Take a tip from someone who knows: a positive attitude will beat a negative one every day, every week, every month, and every year. Simple!

5. Never, ever give up:

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. ~Thomas A. Edison

To succeed at anything, you must never, ever give up.

Yes, it’s hard, of course. It’s meant to be.

Nothing worth having ever came easy.

You must keep going until you reach your desired destination.

Yes, you’ll make mistakes. Yes, you’ll stumble from time to time. However, you must keep your eye on the prize.

If you really want it, it can be yours. If you don’t, you’ll give up and then make excuses.

You should always be driven by a desire to achieve your goals.

Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Which one are you?
