There are in this world ample reasons to be sad and disheartened, discouraged and fearful. But there are as many reasons not to be.

Every person sees the world through lenses of his or her own design—individual goggles that alter focus and perspective as desired. For those who wish the world to be dark and ugly and unapproachable, it is. But for those who wish it to be beautiful, it is a garden playground blooming with bright, happy colors.

You never step backwards when you’re sure of where you’re going.

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

In constant view keeps mightily true an honest resolve to do.

Through sheer volume of passing days you will travel a great distance in your lifetime. Imagine where you might stand if your footsteps steered toward a single goal.
