My interpretation of this quote: Action is the key to success in every pursuit. Even if we choose poor action, because we have overcome inertia, we are quite likely to correct the poor action and proceed to productive action.

No matter how many obstacles we encounter, we should never abandon our efforts to achieve our goals. Re-configure if we must, but never stop pursuing. Success is always achievable …if we preserve.

My interpretation of this quote: Start making plans for your next vacation while enjoying the vacation you’re on, plans that include vivid, colorful, and powerful images in your head.

My interpretation of this quote: Our future has yet to be determined. Every one of us possesses the tools to achieve what we would. However, to make this happen, we must each escape the bonds of our past missteps, behaviors, tragedies, failures, and negative conditioning, conditioning inflicted by others as well as our self. That’s the hard part. But …it can be done, and we can still be what we want to be.

“If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives, to seek the kinds of growth that we find individually fulfilling, then we can have no security: we will live in a world of sham, in which our selves are determined by the will of others, in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us.”
—Nena O’Neil

My interpretation of this quote: We each possess a distinct and unique set of skills that can, if nurtured and developed, steer us towards success and happiness. It is always our choice as individuals to willfully develop our personal potential …or not. If we choose ‘not,’ our options and choices throughout life are substantially more limited.

“Discipline in its highest notion is not punishment or self-punishment. It is rather something seminal to the self. It is our foundation. It is our architecture. It gives us structure. It allows us to steer our energies and pull our wagon.”
