3. Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson You have one chance to make an impression. There is no dress rehearsal, so prepare for your performance Learn to market YOU The difference between you and a celebrity is you are the agent, manager, public relations, and limo driver

4. Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.  ~Les Brown Don’t let others judge you Don’t believe the hype coming from friends You are greater than you think you are Children will be humbling, so don’t listen to your three-year-old

5. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates his fate.  ~Henry David Thoreau The messages you tell yourself need to be affirming and positive If you believe you’re a failure, you will fail If you believe you’re a quitter, you will quit If you believe you’re a winner, you will win

6. A person can grow only as much as his horizon allows.  ~John Powell How many people have you met who have never left the state… …the country …their neighborhood …their own circumstances Do you have a bucket list ? Develop an outlet…find a sport, commit to helping others, lighten up, and laugh more often

7. If you must love your neighbor as yourself, it is at least as fair to love yourself as your neighbor.  ~Nicholas de Chamfort Sometimes we treat others better than we treat ourselves It is the darndest thing when we compliment others, but do you compliment yourself You need to experience the feelings that you have for your spouse, loved one, family, from your own perspective. How well do you accept a compliment

8. Pay no attention to what the critics say.  A statue has never been erected in honor of a critic.  ~Jean Sibelius People can be critical and disbelieving of you We learn to say NO when we haven’t even tried Greatness knows no bounds If you must be critical, do so about the act not the person

9. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.  ~Bruce Barton What is your circumstance? What Splendid and Superior activity have you created from that circumstance ? Do you have an earnest acceptance of life’s pains and promises
