21 Powerful Quotes by Og Mandino: Act now. For now is all you have.

Be prepared to control whatever personality awakes in you each day. Concentrate your energy on the challenge of the moment. Do no waste a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes, yesterday's defeats, or y esterday's aches of the heart. Each struggle, each defeat sharpens your skills and strengthens your courage and your endurance. Failure does not course through your veins as you were not delivered into this w orld in defeat. Green grass grows where dry desert ends. Have confidence that this will be the best day of your life. I have not time to hate, only time to love. Just as nature made no provision for your body to tolerate pain neither has it m ade any provision for you life to suffer failure. Keep work and family separate. Look upon misfortune as opportunity in disguise. Master your moods through positive action and when you master your moods you wil l control your destiny. No longer shall my vocabulary include such words as cannot, unable, impossible, and quit. Obstacles are necessary for success. Practice the art of patience for nature never acts in haste. Remove from your vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impo ssible, out of the question, improbably, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retr eat; for they are the words of fools. So long as I can laugh, never will I be poor. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. Victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. You are nature's greatest miracle.
