If you…

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.

– Andrew Carnegie

The mind…

The mind is its own place and can make a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven.

– John Milton

Successful…

Successful people demonstrate their resilience through their dedication to making progress every day, even if that progress is marginal.

– Jonathan Mills

To improve…

To improve our resilience we may need to do battle with perfectionism; the urge to get things right all the time and thus usually feeling dissatisfied with our less than perfect results – and change our attitude towards mistakes.

– Paul Jackson

A good coach…

A good coach encourages resilience in the people they work with. They encourage them to take risks and if the risk results in failure, they help all people to learn from the mistake and then go on to try another way.

– Catherine Pulsifer

The focus…

The focus on contribution by itself supplies the four basic requirements of effective human relations: communications; teamwork; self-development; and development of others.

– Peter F. Drucker

Learning…

Learning isn’t a way of reaching your potential, it is a way of developing it

– Anders Ericsson

Resiliency…

Resiliency is something you do, more than something you have. . . You become highly resilient by continuously learning your best way of being yourself in your circumstance.

– Al Siebert

We…

We all encounter hardships. Some we see coming; others take us by surprise. It can be as tragic as the sudden death of a child, as heartbreaking as a relationship that unravels or as disappointing as a dream that goes unfulfilled. The question is: When these things happen, what do we do next?

– Sheryl Sandberg

There comes…

There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who do not. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.

– José N. Harris
