“Those who are blessed with the most talent don’t necessarily outperform everyone else. It’s the people with follow-through who excel.”

Don’t limit yourself.

I do believe in encouraging a person to compete with herself… at Mary Kay Cosmetics, we’ve made that philosophy a company policy.

You can go as far as your mind lets you.

The first step is the hardest – making a commitment to yourself, for yourself.

Over the years, I have observed that nearly all high achievers know how to make good of those 1440 minutes in each day.

A good goal is like a strenuous exercise – it makes you stretch.

You never really fail until you stop wanting.

A risk-taking environment starts at the top of a corporation. If the CEO doesn’t have this spirit, chances are you won’t find it anywhere else in the organization.

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.

People are happiest when they have goals, small and large, because they can look forward to attaining them.

Nothing happens until somebody sells something!

We are meant to use and increase whatever God has given us. And when we do, we shall be given more.

To me, P and L doesn’t only mean profit and loss – it also means people and love.

If you have an idea and I have an idea – then we EACH have JUST ONE idea; but if you share your idea with me and I do the same, we EACH have TWO ideas!

You can eat an elephant one bit at a time.

Faith is a twenty-four hour a day commitment.

Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light.

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I’m still healthy.

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.

Your soft heart is a blessing not a curse.

Music and writing are my passions and I feel hella blessed to share them with you all.

Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.
