~ Og Mandino

“I will embrace today’s difficult tasks, take off my coat and make dust in the world. I know the busier I am, the less harm I am apt to suffer, the tastier will be my food, the sweeter my sleep and the better satisfied I will be with my place in the world.”

~ Og Mandino

“I will free myself today from slavery to the clock and calendar and though I will plan this day to conserve my steps and energy; I will begin to measure my life in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not seasons; and in feelings, not figures on a dial.”

~ Og Mandino

“I will run from no danger I might encounter today, because I am certain that nothing will happen to me that I am not equipped to handle with your help. Just as any gem is polished by friction. I am certain to become more valuable through this day’s adversities, and if one door closes, you always open another for me.”

~ Og Mandino

“I will live this day as if it were Christmas and I will be a giver of gifts. To my enemies I will give the gift of forgiveness; to my opponents, tolerance; to my friends, a smile; and to my children, a good example, and every gift will be wrapped with unconditional love.”

~ Og Mandino

“I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.”

~ Og Mandino
