“Our wounds ultimately give us wisdom. Our stumbling blocks inevitably become our stepping stones. And our setbacks lead us to our strengths”

Without patience, there can be no genius.

Don’t confuse activity with productivity. Many people are simply busy being busy.

Best productivity tool ever invented? Easy…the word “no”.

What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your destiny.

Productivity is less about what you do with your time. And more about how you run your mind.

Your daily behavior reveals your deepest beliefs.

Worrying about things beyond your control is a pretty good formula for illness.

Consistency is the DNA of mastery.

The secret of passion is purpose.

Sometimes we need to lose our way to find our way.

People residing within the cult of average don’t like to see others rise. It threatens their security, and spotlights their low self-worth. Go for great, no matter what they say.

You know, when you’re real and speak your truth (in respectful ways), people won’t always like you. But you’ll like you.

Words can INSPIRE and words can DESTROY. Choose YOURS well.

If you’re not scared a lot you’re not doing very much.

From tonight onwards, take complete control of your life. Decide, once and for all, to be the master of your fate. Run your own race. Discover your calling and you will start to experience the ecstasy of an inspired life.

To achieve the impossible, you need to first develop the mindset that it’s probable. Please don’t allow the current limits of your life define your future reality. You deserve so much better. And the world deserves your best.

When we were at the Apollo, Holiday was a block away. I asked her for her autograph.

I like that Pilates compromises the mind and body. It’s not just about being able to run around the block a few times.

Everybody was happy my brother was locked up.

When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart.

It ain’t made for everybody, but I knocked a lot of blocks down.

I didn’t do any of the crimes that the man two blocks over at the White House is responsible for.

Like most young physicists, when I was a kid enraptured with physics, I thought, “Everything can be explained by the theory of the atom!”

We need to block out the outside world; we need to disbelieve anything that would doubt us, because everyone will doubt us if we allow them that space.
