“You don’t have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going. Babies don’t walk the first time they try, but eventually they get it right.”

You will never become successful as long as you continue to blame someone or something else for your lack of success.

Often, we use words in a damaging way not because we are bad people but simply because we are not paying attention. No one ever taught us how powerful words really are.

People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.

Love knows not its own depth until the hour of desperation.

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you.

For every mountain there is a miracle.

The world responds to those who ask.

Keep in mind that part of growing up is dealing with difficult issues, and the benefits can be great if you have the courage to ask for help. Human beings are not designed to go through life alone. No one has to bear the burden of tough times all by themselves.

You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.

People only complain about things they can do something about.

Little acts of kindness and caring from other people rather than the negativity and anger.

Don’t censor your dreams or vision with practicalities and probabilities.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

I think when you have big dreams you attract other big dreamers.

There are essentially two things that will make you wise — the books you read and the people you meet.

Of course motivation is not permanent. But then neither is bathing, but it is something you should do on a regular basis.

Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.

Done is better than perfect.

Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.

We can be shiny and perfect and admired, or we can be real and honest and vulnerable and loved. But we actually do have to choose.

This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.

I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.

If it’s a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.

You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.
