“You become what you think about most of the time.”

The future belongs to the risk-takers, not the comfort-seekers .

One of the marks of successful people is they are action oriented. One of the marks of average people is they are talk oriented.

All successful people, men and women, are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.

You begin to fly when you let go of self-limiting beliefs and allow your mind and aspirations to rise to greater heights.

You must raise your aspirations, set higher goals, and make detailed plans to achieve them.

Money is hard to earn and easy to lose. Guard yours with care.

Think about your goals at every opportunity throughout the day.

Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

Every great move forward in your life begins with a leap of faith, a step into the unknown.

Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organize your life around it.

Success comes when you do what you love to do, and commit to being the best in your field.

The price of success must be paid in full, in advance.

What have you always wanted to do but been afraid to attempt? Whatever it is, it may be your greatest opportunity in life.

It’s the risk takers that move the human race forward.

Unfortunately I’ve been to jail a couple times. Anytime I come in it’s difficult to make music, write songs.

God is speaking to all of us, all the time. The question is not, to whom does God talk? The question is, who listens?

Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.

I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that’s in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It’s being in the right place at the wrong time.

I Have been lost more times than I can count. But, oh, it is surely the times that I’ve been found that matter more.

I try to stick to a certain diet all the time, and then when I feel like a reward, I have it. I try to stick to no dairy, no sugar, no wheat.

My mother is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs – by the time I was about 17 – she started to believe in me, musically.

I haven’t wept for days, only shuffling feet, carrying weights, ignoring the pain, numbing the face. Its all a charade.
