Denis Waitley Quotes

There's a huge difference between achieving to be happy and happily achieving.

You can accomplish virtually any goal you set for yourself, as long as the goal is clear and you persist long enough.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Be happy with who you are and know that being you is the best thing you can do for yourself. You've got a long time to figure everything out and there's no rush. Enjoy the now.

No matter where you want to go, as long as you follow your path with faith, dedication and hard work, you are going to get there.

You have the potential to become anything to which you set your mind. You have a mind and a body and a spirit. With these three working together, you can walk the high road that leads to achievement and happiness. But this will require effort and sacrifice and faith.

Life could be vastly improved if we could count our blessings as self-actualizing people can and do, and if we could retain their constant sense of good fortune and gratitude for it.

Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. And nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. There is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: The more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.

I've spent most of my life trying to think my way to happiness, and my failure to achieve that goal only proves, in my mind, that I am not a good enough thinker. It never occurred to me that the source of my unhappiness is not flawed thinking but thinking itself.

Push yourself. Don't Settle. Just live well. Just LIVE.

I'm waking up to say I tried, instead of waking up to another TV guide.

My goal is to try to be as happy as I can - going through every day just as it is.

happiness has always seemed to me a great achievement.

You will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue.

If you focus on the obstacles, then you give them more power. Instead focus on your purpose, on your most authentic and fundamental intentions.

You achieve what you believe in, look for, and work for.
