Transcending Thoughts

Believe nothing. No matter where you read it, or who said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Buddha

quotes by Denis Waitley

Courage

Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods.

integrity

A life lived with integrity -- even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shinning star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.

creative vision

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

masterpieces

Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining perspective. They make their lives a work of art -- an individual masterpiece.

lessons

There are no mistakes or failures, only lessons.

Failure

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

Gifts

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

Life, a Continuous Learning Experience

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

759

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

On Failure

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
