Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness. - Og Mandino

most of all I will love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart.

Setting goals is easy. As with New Year’s resolutions, any of us can jot down long lists of things we hope to accomplish in the future . . . but then we continue to live exactly as we have in the past.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.
