Yourself
(page 6)
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.
Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.
You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine.
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.
I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state — meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary — not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
Have fun and believe in yourself.
Believing in yourself and having confidence gives you outer strength.
I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft... it's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
Every day, you reinvent yourself. You're always in motion. But you decide every day: forward or backward.
My dad said, 'Stay humble, and you gotta work harder than everybody else'. My mom said, 'Always be yourself'. She always told me only God can judge me.
Lead yourself whenever your boss' leadership deteriorates. When your boss doesn't praise what you do, praise yourself. When your boss doesn't make you big, make yourself big. Remember, if you have done your best, failure does not count.
Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.
If I could give one tip for people — it's not an exercise or nutrition regimen. It's to walk your talk and believe in yourself, because at the end of the day, the dumbbell and diet don't get you in shape. It's your accountability to your word.
I learned a few years ago that balance is the key to a happy and successful life, and a huge part of achieving that balance is to instill rituals into your everyday life — a nutritious balanced diet, daily exercise, time for yourself through meditation, reading, journaling, yoga, daily reflection, and setting goals.
