Motivational Quote by Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.”

“The mind, left unguarded, becomes a quiet adversary; through watchfulness, it learns to serve, not to rule.”

“Life grants a single passage; let the journey be radiant, purposeful, and indelible.”

“Nothing happens by chance. Every soul you encounter is woven into the pattern of your destiny—to restore you, to embrace you, or to guide you toward the person you’re meant to become.”

“Not every day requires all the answers; sometimes peace simply comes from trusting in God.”

“Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.”

“You can start to change your luck today. Begin believing that you can have what you desire and superior things will arrive.”

“One of the best ways to influence people is to make them feel important. Most people enjoy those rare moments when others make them feel important. It is one of the deepest human desires.”

“If we can acquire an attitude of self-belief, then we will surely determine our future actions and our future life opportunities.”

“Everything is easier said than done. Wanting something is easy. Saying something is easy. The challenge and the reward are in the doing.”

“A lesson any writer can use. Don’t be afraid. That simple; don’t let them scare you. There’s nothing they can do to you. If they kick you out of films, do TV. If they kick you out of TV, write novels. If they won’t buy your novels, sell short stories. Can’t do that, then take a job as a bricklayer. A writer always writes. That’s what he’s for. And if they won’t let you write one kind of thing, if they chop you off at the pockets in the market place, then go to another market place. And if they close of all the bazaars, then by God go and work with your hands till you can write, because the talent is always there. But the first time you say, “Oh, Christ, they’ll kill me!” then you’re done. Because the chief commodity a writer has to sell is his courage. And if he has none, he is more than a coward. He is a sellout and a fink and a heretic, because writing is a holy chore.”
