I'm rather fond of one of my tag lines, by Herm Albright: "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

messymimi I like this one, too. One of my favorite ones I picked up at AA/Al-Anon: "Stop living in the train wrecks of the past and the future." I used to be really bad about that.

Don’t think about what can happen in a month. Don’t think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.

Remember our Grimm story: mere persistence can be an act of disobedience. Perhaps there is nothing “mere” about persistence. Persistence can be a deviation from a trajectory, what stops the hurtling forward of fate, what prevents a fatality.
—Sara Ahmed, from Willful Subjects

“Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts.”
“It is never about who is right or wrong, it is about what is best.”
“You can start to change your luck today. Begin believing that you can have what you desire and superior things will arrive.”
“Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions.”
