Sooner or later you’ll encounter a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success.

Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis.

Close scrutiny will show you that most “crisis situations” are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.

Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either “inspiration” or “desperation.”

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.

Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.

Here are some gems from the late, great Mitch Hedberg

  • I called the hotel operator and she said, “How can I direct your call?” I said, “Well, you could say ‘Action!’, and I’ll begin to dial. And when I say ‘Goodbye’, then you can yell ‘Cut!’”
  • I like cottage cheese. That’s why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Tent cheese? Mobile home cheese? Do not eat mobile home cheese in a tornado.
  • I went to a restaurant, and I saw a guy wearing a leather jacket, eating a hamburger, drinking a glass of milk. I said, “Dude, you are a cow. The metamorphosis is complete. Don’t fall asleep or I will tip you over!”

Honesty opens the door to success

image014 300x193 Honesty opens the door to success
Successful people have cultivated the habit of never denying to themselves their true feelings and attitudes.

They have no need for pretenses.

Once you accept yourself completely you don’t have to maintain a phony front, or feel insecure if people don’t tune in to you and what you’re doing.

Visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you.

Don’t forfeit three-forth’s of yourself to be like other people.

First say to yourself what you would be and then do what you have to do.

Master Life Don’t Let It Master You

image048 Master Life Dont Let It Master You

Some people are successful in mastering life, while others permit life to master them.

There is a split in you that is very clear.

There is part of you that knows what you should do, and a part of you that does what it feels like doing.

Don’t let passion drive you, let reason hold the reins.

Once you understand these opposing forces warring within you, with this knowledge of the truth: you no longer remain a slave.

A clear understanding of this will make you the master of your life.
