Quotes to Ponder

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can clearly say to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own.” ― Epictetus

“True self-confidence is “the courage to be open—to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source.” Real self-confidence is not reflected in a title, an expensive suit, a fancy car, or a series of acquisitions. It is reflected in your mindset: your readiness to grow.”― Carol S. Dweck

“Good timber does not grow with ease: The stronger wind, the stronger trees; The further sky, the greater length; The more the storm, the more the strength.” ― Douglas Malloch

“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” ― Bruce Lee

“There is no happiness if the things we believe in are different than the things we do.”― Albert Camus
