Fundamentals for Creating a Great Life

Abraham Lincoln’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Creating a Great Life

1. See the positive in people - “If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will.”
2. Be honest - “No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”
3. Unite - “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
4. Create a friend where there isn't one - “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.”
5. Believe in and go after your own success - "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one"thing.”
6. Persist - “Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.”
7. Take responsibility for your own life - “You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.”
8. Sharpen you ax - “If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend six hours sharpening my ax.”
9. Happiness is optional - “Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be."
10. Live your life fully - “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

Coaching Quote #39:Worse Thing

"The worst thing you can do to someone you love is do something for them they can and should do for themselves."

--- President Abraham Lincoln
