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

Daily ripples of excellence -over time- become a tsunami of success.

Take care of your dreams. Or your fears will care for them for you.

If you’re not thinking for yourself, then you’re following-not leading.

It wasn’t until I began to work on my inner life and know myself that my life changed. Success really does begin within. The size and quality of your outer life is only limited by the size and quality of your inner life.

Everything that scares you is an opportunity to know your best self better.

Success is created through the performance of a few small daily disciplines that stack up over time to produce achievements far beyond anything you could have ever planned for.

Happiness is the DNA of pleasure.

Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope.

We become happier not by accumulating more things but by creating richer experiences.

Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.

Person who chases two rabbits catches neither.

Your limits are liars, you fears are thieves.

The quality of success you will experience in your life ultimately depends upon the tiny choices you make every minute of every hour of every day.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

The scrutiny we give other people should be for ourselves.

That is what lower performers do; they make others wrong for doing what is necessary in order to make themselves feel okay about doing nothing! The highest performers-the winners-respond by studying successful people and duplicating success.

People think that I’m tough and strong and that I kicked my way through everything. But they are wrong. The truth is that when I was young I was adorable and a trembling wreck.

Throughout my life, I’ve seen the difference that volunteering efforts can make in people’s lives. I know the personal value of service as a local volunteer.

Every person has a signature. Just some people don’t know it yet.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.
