To blame another is to give them power over you.

It doesn't matter how much material wealth you have, unless you're successful as a human being, you're not truly successful.

If you are not happy while working, there is either something wrong with you or the work you have chosen. Figure it out as soon as you can and make the appropriate change. Is it your work? Or your attitude towards it?  Work should not seem like work at all if things are working harmoniously. Life is too short to be miserable that much of the time.

"Don't get trapped into chasing and maintaining a lifestyle. The lifestyle thing, the money thing, the white-house-with-a-picket-fence thing. All materialistic games that people play are such a rat race that you'll lose your dream in no time flat... Lifestyle is a killer. Lifestyle will masquerade as your dream realized. Soon, the lifestyle will seem more important than the dream. Appearances, comforts and keeping up with the Joneses is not the road to a fulfilling future." -Milton Katselas

Sound words, in my opinion. -J.O.

You can read all the spiritual/self-help books you want. You can go to religious services from now till doom's day. You can talk high and mighty till you can speak no more; but until you take ACTION and ACT the part, none of that means a thing.
