Always enjoy, never bemoan, whatever effort a task requires.
Do things not merely because they are popular, but because you deeply
believe in them.
Work with things as they are, not with the way you wish they were or
think they ought to be.
Don't become attached to results. Do your best at the moment, and let
the results take care of themselves.
Maintain enthusiasm! Without it, nothing worthwhile was ever achieved.
Never ask yourself what you want to see happen. Instead, always ask
what is trying to happen.
See your work primarily as a service to others, and not as a means of
personal gain.
Blame no one when things go wrong, but do whatever you can to improve
matters.
Be crystal clear as to your purpose and directions, and have the courage
to act accordingly.
Welcome as opportunities whatever obstacles confront you.
Develop your will-power by setting yourself increasingly difficult goals,
and persevere until each of them has been achieved.
Be more energy-oriented than goal-oriented, and see life in terms of
constant progress rather than of pre-established ends.
Dare to step outside the boundaries of conventional wisdom.
Develop the ability to concentrate one-pointedly on whatever task you
set yourself.
View each and every day as a fresh beginning, bright with promise, and
never define yourself in terms of past accomplishments.
Don't limit your self-identity to present realities, but expand it to
include your highest potentials.
Be willing to re-evaluate your first principles.
Ensure that the outcome of everything you do be harmonious, by acting
always with a positive, harmonious attitude.
In anything you do, ask yourself not only what peole like to have, but
also what you would feel happy giving them.
Be open to the TRUTH, no matter by whom it is uttered.
Develop preference for the truth over mere opinion -- even if the opinion
be your own.
Consult your inner feeling before making decisions; never do a thing,
whatever Reason tells you, unless your heart concurs.
Never make emotional decisions, but maintain your heart's feeling in a
calm state of reason.
Rather than be problem-oriented, be solution-oriented; and have faith
that, for every problem, an inherent solution exists.
Be grateful for what you have, however little, and don't resent life for
what it hasn't given you.
Don't make excuses for yourself when things go wrong. Reflect instead
that God alone is infallible.
Understand that YOU are the final measure of everything you accomplish.
For that work alone is noble which ennobles its creator.
Meet challenges by remaining calmly centered within, and seek strength
and guidance intuitively, within yourself.
Attune your limited, human will to the infinite divine will.
Be humble, realizing that pride is the death of wisdom, and the paralysis
of every worthwhile endeavor.
