Be your authentic self. Your authentic self is who you are when you have no fear of judgment, or before the world starts pushing you around and telling you who you're supposed to be. Your fictional self is who you are when you have a social mask on to please everyone else. Give yourself permission to be your authentic self.
Every one of us have things that we believe about ourselves when nobody else is looking, nobody else is listening, nobody else is monitoring what we're doing. We believe things about ourselves.
Why do so many marriages fail? Because nobody gets taught how to be married. We're not taught how to pick a mate, or why to pick a mate; we don't know how to manage our emotions once we're in a marriage; we don't know how to resolve marital conflict. Married people have never been taught why they or their spouses feel the way they do and act the way they do. Nobody has ever taught us the fundamentals.
Leaders inspire. They aren't assigned leadership. They command it.
Know your goal, make a plan and pull the trigger
Everybody should have the opportunity to do and be everything they can be.
You must demand nothing less than the best of yourself and for yourself. You must tell yourself that it is not wrong to want it all.
There is power in forgiveness.
Life is managed; it is not cured.
Most choices are driven by immediate results.
Anyone can do something when they want to do it. Really successful people do things when they don't want to do it.
At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities. You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun to be around. That's wonderful, and I'm happy for you, but let me ask you this: are you being any of those things to yourself?
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things losers don't want to do.
