Some of the best ideas I get seem to happen when I'm doing mindless manual labor or exercise. I'm not sure how that happens but it leaves me free for remarkable ideas to occur.

Make the best use of what is in your power and take the rest as it happens.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

You may not realize it when it happens but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

All the adversity I've had in my life all my troubles and obstacles have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it's a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn't change - it hasn't suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It's still a cowboy movie. And that's what's incredible about it because nobody has done that before that's new territory.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

You cannot control what happens to you but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you and in that you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Develop an attitude of gratitude and give thanks for everything that happens to you knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
