Don't focus on how far you have to travel, but rather on how far you have come.

Focusing on the negatives is like watering weeds in the garden. You want to remove them, not grow them.

Don't let yourself be discouraged by how far you have to go, but be encouraged by how far you have come.

Transform your current self, in order to better your future self.

Courtesy is the grease that lubricates society.

You cannot grow a lotus on a granite rock. So too you cannot grow loving kindness in a granite heart.
