DAILY GURU

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

You always experience the consequences of your own actions.
If your actions are right, you'll get good consequences.
If not, you'll suffer for it.
There are always two choices, two paths to take.
One is easy. And your only reward is that it's easy.
You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
Morality may consist solely of the courage of making a choice.
Wickedness is always easier than virtue, for it takes a short cut to everything.
But over time you learn, you can't make wrong work.
Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.
You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.
Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.

GO FOR PASSION!

"There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life."
-- Frederico Fellini


How do you ration your passion?
In what situations have you experienced your life to the fullest? Do you live your passion as fully as you can? How do you limit your experience of passion?
Passion emerges when your essence expresses itself. How do you stop yourself from fully expressing who you are?
"Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark."
-- Henri Frederic Amiel


"We could hardly wait to get up in the morning."
-- Wilbur Wright

DAILY GURU

YOUR MIND SETS YOUR LIMITS

What you believe yourself to be, you are.
What you believe you can be in the future, you can become.
If you believe that you can do something, you can do it.
You must believe in it one hundred percent.
Your self image prescribes the limits
for the accomplishment of your goals.
It prescribes the "area of the possible" for you.
If you want to be successful,
start thinking of yourself as successful.
The feelings must come first from within you.
Self esteem is the strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness.
Believe you can do it.
Believe you deserve it.
Believe you will get it.
It's all in your mind.
What you see is what you get.

THERE IS A GOOD SIDE TO EVERY SITUATION

You cannot have the success you seek without experiencing some failures.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.
What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you, can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.
In all of your adversities lie the seeds of equivalent advantages.
In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.
View your problems as opportunities.
When it's dark enough you can see the stars.

DAILY GURU

ACT ON YOUR DREAMS

Your destiny is not a matter of chance,
it's a matter of the choices you're going to make.
It's not something you wait for,
but rather something you pursue.
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.
Seize common occasions and make them great.
Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
You're at this moment, standing right in the middle of opportunity.
You must make your own opportunities.
Start where you are.
You can live your dreams if you act on your opportunities.

FREEDOM MEANS RESPONSIBILITY

If you wish to be free yourself from enslavement, you must choose freedom and the responsibility it entails.
There's a price for every freedom,
something to be given up for every liberty.
It's up to you to weigh the price you must pay for each of your freedoms.
Everything you want has a price.
There's a price you'll pay for changing things and a price you'll pay for leaving things as they are.
Freedom is the opportunity to make decisions.
It's the capacity to take a hand in your own development.
Freedom is the right to choose.
It's the right to create for yourself the alternatives of choice.
No one is free who is not master of himself.


You are free to do whatever you like.
You need only face the consequences of your actions.
