Live your life with passion, life your life with some drive, decide that you are going to push yourself. The last chapter to your life has not been written yet, and it doesn't matter about what happened yesterday. It doesn't matter about what happened to you, what matters is, 'what are you going to do about it?'
Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.
WANT shows up in conversation - EXPECTATION shows up in behavior.
Sometimes you've got to # believe in someone else's belief in you until your # belief kicks in.
Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.
Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.
Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.
You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.
No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away from where you want to be, never stop believing that you will somehow make it.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Lions don't have to roar. There is power in silence, confidence, and persistence. Those who work don't talk, and those who talk don't work. Handle your business. Measure your efforts by results. Focus your time, energy, and activity on mastering and executing a plan.
What we do and accomplish is only the tip of the iceberg of what's possible for us.
