“It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.”

Avoid negative people at all costs. They are the greatest destroyers of self-confidence and self-esteem.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

If you think a certain thought long enough and hard enough, it becomes a fixed belief and you will find yourself behaving on the outside in a manner consistent with it.

The more you like yourself, the better you do at everything you put your mind to.

Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve you have to win the war in your thinking first.

Imagine your ideal future. Visualize yourself as if your life were perfect in every aspect.

Be prepared to ride the cycles and trends of life; success is never permanent, and failure is never final.

Growth and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and embracing new ones.

Hunger not to have, but to be.

Dreams don’t work unless you take action. The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.

Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.

It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. There would be no rainbows without sunshine and rain.

You will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal.

Early on, you can expect no one to believe in your destiny as much as yourself.

Capabilities are clearly manifested only when they have been realized.
