My will shall shape the future.
Whether I fail or succeed
shall be no man's doing but my own.
I am the force;
I can clear any obstacle before me
or I can be lost in the maze.
My choice;
my responsibility;
win or lose,
only I hold the key to my destiny.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens,
often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
He who knows much about others may be learned,
but he who understands himself is more intelligent.
He who controls others may be powerful,
but he who has mastered himself is mightier still
-Lao-Tsu. Tao Teh King
How you choose to respond each moment to the movie of life
determines how you see the next frame,
and the next,
and eventually how you feel when the movie ends.
Greatness is not in where we stand,
but in what direction we are moving.
We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it --
but sail we must and not drift,
nor lie at anchor.
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
