Quotes from Andy Andrews

Our definition of wisdom? The ability to see into the future the consequences of your choices in the present.

We all feel better when we are grateful. There is great wisdom in understanding that no matter the situation, there is always something for which we can choose to be grateful.

Life is a breath, a passing breeze; a blade of grass, green and vibrant for a time, only to wither, die, and disappear. Soon you will be dead.

We can choose to be offended. We can choose not to be offended. It really is that simple. Not necessarily easy. Simple. And always a choice that is completely within our control.

We can choose not to allow the choices and actions of someone else to dictate our own.

When a person says, "What I believe is just as valid as anything you or anyone else believes," recognize the statement for what it is: a declaration that is not only childish and untrue but also easily refuted. Mature people understand that while they are entitled to their own opinions, they are not entitled to their own facts.

If you set your mind on loss, you are more likely to lose … But a grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life.

Think. Learn. Pray. Plan. Dream. For soon … you will become.

The degree to which you will ever be financially compensated is inexorably linked to the obvious greater value (OGV) that you create for someone else.

Our thinking creates a pathway to success or failure. By disclaiming responsibility for our present, we crush the prospect of an incredible future that might have been ours.

Because how you think determines who you are, it also determines who you are becoming and who you ultimately become.
