You cannot cross a chasm in two small jumps. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff …and it’s All Small Stuff. Whoever I am and whatever I am doing, some kind excellence is within my reach. Better get a stiff neck from aiming too high than a hunch from aiming too low. The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence.
You are never given a wish
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they are yours. If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm. If you do not do it excellently, do not do it at all. Because if it is not excellent, it will not be profitable or fun, and if you are not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there?
Why settle for so little in life
It is by what we ourselves have done, and not by what others have done for us, that we shall be remembered in after ages. If you are not afraid to face the music, you may someday lead the band. Your self-beliefs either support or undermine you. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true.
The way to be safe
Once you make the fundamental choice to be the predominant creative force in your life, any approach you choose to take for your own growth and development can work, and you are especially attracted to those approaches which will work particularly well for you. Better get a stiff neck from aiming too high than a hunch from aiming too low.
The grass is greenest where it is watered
Self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. Better get a stiff neck from aiming too high than a hunch from aiming too low. Believing is one thing, doing another. Many talk like the sea but their lives are stagnant marshes.
Stop freewheeling
The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be. He who has begun his task has half done it.
Slideshow inside
Until you try, you do not know what you cannot do. People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I do not believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they cannot find them, make them. All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.

Others just get wet
Why not go out on a limb? That is where the fruit is Some people walk in the rain. Others just get wet. Do not compromise yourself. You are all you have got. If you are never scared or embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances. The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
One cannot govern with buts
Better get a stiff neck from aiming too high than a hunch from aiming too low. People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I do not believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they cannot find them, make them.
