Think about the <strong>things you do have</strong> rather than the <strong>things you don't have</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">2. Whatever you do have, you <strong>could have had less</strong>; someone else has had less. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">3. <strong>Hoping</strong> for the best, whilst <strong>planning</strong> for the worst, means rarely coming out of a situation with nothing. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">4. Situations will seldom turn out as badly as you <strong>imagine</strong> they will do.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">5. Dont worry about the unknown; its as likely to be <strong>good</strong> as it is <strong>bad</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">6. Never lose your <strong>hope</strong>, even if you lose all else.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">7. If you want out of anything, there's <strong>always a way out</strong>. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">8. Nothing is <strong>impossible</strong> unless you accept it as impossible.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">9. A <strong>good attitude</strong> will always make a bad situation better.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">10. Never <strong>complain</strong> about anything that you can <strong>change</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">11. Its better to <strong>say nothing</strong> than to <strong>talk negatively</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">12. The more <strong>positive</strong> you are, the more positive others are towards to you.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">13. Great things won't happen every day but <strong>every day has the potential to be great</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">14. Your <strong>present</strong> wont always match up to your <strong>past</strong> but your <strong>future</strong> can surpass both.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">15. Decide <strong>what</strong> you want, <strong>why</strong> you want it, and <strong>how</strong> you plan to achieve it.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">16. Believe in your <strong>ideas</strong> and <strong>actions</strong>; follow them through without hesitation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">17. Endless <strong>preparation</strong> is worse than <strong>action</strong> without planning.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">18. If you <strong>think you can</strong> then you can; if you <strong>think you cant</strong> then youre right.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">19. <strong>Believe in yourself</strong> and youll be to deal with everything that arises.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">20. Others will <strong>believe in you</strong> if you believe in yourself. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">21. Hesitation results in <strong>missed opportunities</strong>; missed opportunities result in regret and dissatisfaction.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">22. Do <strong>what you want to do</strong>; not with doing what others want you to do.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">23. Say <strong>what you need to say</strong>, do <strong>what you need to do</strong>, and youll stop wondering what might have been.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">24. Youll <strong>regret</strong> not doing the things that you want to do but are scared to do. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">25. Dealing with failure is easier than dealing with <strong>what if ?</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">26. Stop thinking about what is happening to you; start thinking about <strong>what you can make happen</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">27. Having <strong>choices</strong> and making <strong>decisions</strong> is a privilege; dont waste it by being scared of making mistakes.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">28. You have to <strong>create for yourself</strong>; its no-one elses responsibility.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">29. <strong>100%</strong> of things can be learnt if you apply yourself a <strong>100%</strong> to them.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">30. See situations through to their natural conclusions; <strong>never giving up</strong> because its difficult. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">31. Dedicating time to <strong>things that youre not passionate about</strong> is a waste of that time.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">32. <strong>Confidence</strong> and <strong>motivation</strong> make anyone better at anything.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">33. You <strong>dont have to be the best</strong> at something to feel confident / proud about it.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">34. Everything you do won't be a success but you'll be a success if you <strong>keep trying things</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">35. <strong>Everyone is good at something</strong> and everything has the potential to make you a success. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">36. Failing to achieve something in the <strong>past</strong> doesnt mean that youll fail to achieve it <strong>now</strong> or in the <strong>future</strong>. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">37. <strong>Failing</strong> something doesn't make you a <strong>failure</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">38. The difference between <strong>winning</strong> and <strong>losing</strong> is trying again after you lose.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">39. Achieving requires <strong>patience</strong>; it takes <strong>time</strong> and <strong>hard work</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">40. <strong>Hard work</strong> and <strong>determination</strong> don't guarantee success but they give you as much chance as anything else. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">41. Getting up and working hard <strong>gives you a chance</strong>; the more chances you give yourself, the more chances you have of success.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">42. Look at the <strong>worth</strong> of the things youre doing rather than the <strong>number</strong> of them.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">43. There are always different ways of getting the same result; help yourself by having <strong>options</strong> and <strong>alternatives</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">44. Its up to you <strong>how you measure success</strong> (love, family, money, belongings, experiences etc.). </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">45. Know what you expect of yourself; meeting those <strong>expectations</strong>, and not those that others have of you, should be your aim.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">46. Qualifications, awards and trophies show how you compare to the people around you; more important is how you compare to the <strong>standards that you set yourself</strong>. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">47. Comparing yourself to others is unfair; everyone starts from a different position and each person has different <strong>abilities</strong>, <strong>resources</strong> and <strong>opportunities</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">48. It's not about who wins or who is the most successful; it's about how much <strong>progress</strong> you make.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">49. Surround yourself with people who have <strong>dreams</strong>, <strong>desire</strong> and <strong>ambition</strong>; theyll help you push for and realise your own.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">50. Always be willing to <strong>meet new people</strong>; they bring new opinions, ideas and experiences.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">51. There are others in the world for a reason; <strong>depend on them</strong> and <strong>let others depend on you</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">52. Share and deal with your <strong>problems</strong>; hidden and left unattended theyll only grow.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">53. If you need <strong>help</strong>, ask for it; people like to help others. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">54. <strong>Be available</strong> and <strong>offer assistance</strong> when youre up as well asking for help when youre down.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">55. There are lots of people who <strong>smile</strong>, <strong>love</strong> and <strong>help others</strong>; find them and theyll make your world a better place.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">56. There are enough <strong>loving people</strong> around for you not to feel unloved.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">57. <strong>Love</strong> and youll be loved; <strong>laugh</strong> and youll be laughed with.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">58. <strong>Making others laugh</strong> gives them a break from every problem that they have; its a great gift to give.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">59. Dont hoard and hide the things that you have; everything is meant to be <strong>shared</strong>. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">60. The more you get, the less others get; be prepared to <strong>compromise</strong>. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">61. Treat <strong>others</strong> as you want to be treated <strong>yourself</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">62. Collectively, the <strong>small things</strong> you say and do make a <strong>big difference</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">63. Everything you say and do is <strong>relevant</strong> and has a <strong>consequence</strong>, affecting yours and others futures.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">64. Think before you <strong>speak</strong>; give thought to the consequences of your <strong>actions</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">65. What people <strong>do</strong> is more important than what they <strong>say</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">66. People do things for <strong>reasons</strong>; not knowing or understanding them doesn't make them any less valid.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">67. You don't have to be friends with everyone but you <strong>shouldn't abuse or take</strong> from those you dislike.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">68. We are here to <strong>enjoy what is around us</strong>, not to stop others from enjoying what is around them.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">69. For every <strong>bad person</strong>, theres a <strong>good person</strong> too; spending time with the former means missing out on it with the latter.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">70. Learn about <strong>yourself</strong> before learning about other things.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">71. Always be willing to <strong>learn from other people</strong>; from what they say and what they do.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">72. Dont worry about <strong>unanswered questions</strong>; having the answers is not essential to enjoying the experience. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">73. If you know that you're <strong>right</strong>, don't worry if everybody says that you're <strong>wrong</strong>. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">74. <strong>Admitting you're wrong</strong> and <strong>changing your mind</strong> is better than continuing to be wrong. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">75. You will make <strong>mistakes</strong>; see them as part of your <strong>education</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">76. A mistake made twice is a <strong>lesson not learnt</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">77. You <strong>take and improve</strong> from every experience; even the ones you don't enjoy.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">78. <strong>Today</strong> is more important than <strong>yesterday</strong> or <strong>tomorrow</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">79. Dwelling on the <strong>past</strong> means missing opportunities in the <strong>present</strong> and that adversely affects your <strong>future</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">80. The easiest option is often to keep things the same, but the <strong>easiest option</strong> is rarely the <strong>best option</strong>. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">81. <strong>Routines</strong> hold back progress; regularly change what you do or how you do it.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">82. <strong>Change</strong> makes life interesting; if everything stayed the same you wouldnt be learning. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">83. To fight change is to <strong>fight nature</strong>; its a fight you cant win. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">84. Accept change and be prepared to <strong>change yourself</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">85. Its better to <strong>be yourself</strong> than to change to be like other people. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">86. The only thing you can be certain of <strong>improving</strong> is yourself.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">87. Making yourself a <strong>better person</strong> makes the world a <strong>better place</strong>. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">88. See the <strong>world</strong> as a good place despite everything in it not being good. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">89. Accept disappointment, failure and pain as a <strong>part of life</strong>, not the <strong>entirety</strong> of it. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">90. Every life is made up of <strong>good and bad times</strong>; youll always be changing between the two.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">91. Your <strong>bad experiences</strong> make you better appreciate your <strong>good experiences</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">92. Your aim should be to be <strong>doing</strong> <strong>something you love</strong>, in a <strong>place you love</strong> with <strong>people you love</strong>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">93. Youre free to <strong>love anyone, anything or any place</strong>; no-one can take that away from you.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">94. Value <strong>love</strong>, <strong>health</strong>, <strong>time</strong> and <strong>freedom</strong> above all else.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">95. For everything that you <strong>want</strong>, consider what it will also <strong>take away</strong> from you. </span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">96. You need something to <strong>eat</strong>, somewhere to <strong>sleep</strong> and someone to <strong>love</strong>; focus on these essentials and be happier for it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">97. <strong>Give</strong> what you can; <strong>take</strong> only what you need.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">98. Whatever you need to <strong>enjoy your life</strong> is more important than anything else in your life.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">99. An <strong>enjoyable life</strong> is preferable to any other life.</span></p><p><span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">100. When you <strong>find what you're searching for</strong>, the costs and pains of the search become insignificant.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">101. There's no one answer or principle that will <strong>guide you everyday</strong>.</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
