Denis Waitley Life Quotations

Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.

There are no mistakes or failures, only lessons.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.

The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.

Life is not accountable to us. We are accountable to life.

All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners. Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they're not learning, they're not growing and not moving toward excellence.

The patient person accepts a certain amount of failure knowing that it is as important a thread in the fabric of life as is success. Great individuals make great successes out of failure.

Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

A good life is a collection of happy memories.

The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we've already achieved them.

Instead of just letting life happen, I'm going to make it happen for me.

THE GREATEST RISK IN LIFE IS TO WAIT FOR AND DEPEND UPON OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN SECURITY.

Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show.

The reason so many individuals fail to achieve their goals in life is that they never really set them in the first place

Life is self-fulfilling prophecy.

Where there is life, there is hope. Where there are hopes, there are dreams. Where there are vivid dreams repeated, they become goals. Goals become the action plans and game plans that winners dwell on in intricate detail, knowing that achievement is almost automatic when the goal becomes an inner commitment. The response to the challenges of life - purpose - is the healing balm that enables each of us to face up to adversity and strife....

Life is a do-it-for-others, do-it-yourself project.

Winning is beginning. And just by beginning, your game is half won.

Your habits will determine your quality of life.

The season for enjoying the fullness of life - partaking of the harvest, sharing the harvest with others, and reinvesting and saving portions of the harvest for yet another season of growth.
