“The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

We decide what we will make of each and every situation.

Our perceptions are the thing that we're in complete control of.

When people panic, they make mistakes.They become unresponsive and stop thinking clearly. They just react.

If an emotion can't change the condition or the situation you're dealing with, it is likely an unhelpful emotion. Or, quite possibly, a destructive one.

Perspective is everything. That is, when you can break apart something, or look at it from some new angle, it loses its power over you.

Focusing exclusively on what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power. But every ounce of energy directed at things we can't actually influence is wasted - self-indulgent and self-destructive.

Our best ideas come from where obstacles illuminate new options.

Failure puts you in corners you have to think your way out of. It is a source of breakthroughs.

True will is quiet humility, resilience and flexibility. The other kind of will is weakness, disguised by bluster and ambition. See which lasts longer under the hardest of obstacles.”
