“Every day you say ‘No’ to your dreams, you might be pushing back your dreams a whole 6 months.”

I don’t ever want you to settle for another average day in your life.

Nobody’s as good as you when you do what you do. I need you to own the time that comes with that.

I challenge you. Be obsessed with improvement!

You are upgrading your technology, and you’ve not upgraded yourself!

I’ve got the opportunity of a lifetime. Some great things are happening because of momentum and I’m just trying to seize the moment.

If you can look up, you can get up.

Where there is no struggle, there is absolutely no progress.

Don’t tell me you’re going to be on the honor roll. Shut up! Go to work! And show me!

Greatness is a lot of small things done well.

Character is like my fingerprint; it identifies me from everyone else in the world. It says who I am and where I am headed.

You cannot afford to live in potential for the rest of your life; at some point, you have to unleash the potential and make your move(ment).

You think it’s going to be easy? Forget about it! Don’t even try to be successful!

At the end of pain is SUCCESS!

The next time you feel slightly uncomfortable with the pressure in your life, remember no pressure, no diamonds. Pressure is a part of success.

The difference between those who succeed and fail: not taking advantage of opportunities.

No one fails alone and no one succeeds alone.

The better ambitions have to do with the development of character and ability, rather than status and power. The status you can lose. You carry character with you wherever you go, and it allows you to prevail against adversity.

If you are a dreamer come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tails to spin, come in, come in.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful.

A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.

Will I ever rise above the shackles of my mundane reality? I know I could fly as high as dreams.

That which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed.

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgot.

But we can aim too high. Or too low. Or too chaotically. So we fail and live in disappointment, even when we appear to others to be living well.
