Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success _ or at least at the same time.

It__ not how long you live that matters, it__ how well you live.

Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.

Until you press the switch button of the light in your room on, you shall always have light in your room and still leave in darkness.

Have you decided how great you want to be? It__ really up to you. Greatness is a choice.

The goal of becoming a better person is within the reach of us all, at every moment. ... We need only invoke the power of mindful awareness in any action of body, speech, or mind to elevate that action from the unconscious reflex of a trained creature to the awakened choice of a human being who is guided to a higher life by wisdom. ... We may not "complete" the work in this lifetime and root out the very mechanism by which our minds and bodies manifest their hereditary karmic toxins. Yet to whatever extent we can notice them as they arise, understand them for what they are, and gently abandon our grasp of them - if only for this moment - we are gaining ground in the grand scheme of things. And even a modest moment of emancipation from the unwholesome roots of greed, hatred, and delusion is a moment without suffering.

The entire journey of life is lived with energy and we use energy in all that we do from dawn to dusk! When your energy goes down, something goes down. We can do anything with our energy but not all things deserve our true energy! We have, all of us, a choice to choose where our energy must go when day breaks. We can choose to allow anything at all take our energy, but we must not forget that where our energy goes, from there comes something to us; something good or something bad, something mediocre or something noble, something that will disturb us or something that will enhance our joy, latently or visibly, now or tomorrow! We must always remember each day that the same energy that is exerted on wrong things to attract and produce wrong things can be exerted on good things to produce good and great things!

Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don__ try to be someone you were not born to be.

You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.

Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.

Hold everything in this world lightly. Tight enough to show love, but loose enough to easily let go.
