Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I know it sounds new age-y, but what I've truly come up with is that you really need to trust that you're on your own path, as long as you stay true to it and you show up, which is 99% of it.
