“A goal is the basic unit of life design.”

Being judgmental is cheap. Any fool can do it.

Sometimes the only thing we do to avoid success is refuse to be energetic on our own behalf

Being judgmental about your own behavior is actually another cop-out because it makes you feel as though you’re doing something virtuous.

DO IT RIGHT, DO IT WRONG, BUT DO IT. Squeeze your eyes shut and jump. Because a wonderful thing happens then. Your focus shifts from yourself, your nervousness, and your imagined inadequacies to the task at hand.

Time is clay; make something.

The environment that creates winners is almost always made up of winners.

Becoming mature means learning to accept what you cannot change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you would have it happen.

Everyone has unique gifts and talents. What you love is what you’re gifted at. To be completely happy, to live a completely fulfilled life, you have to do what you love.

Doing your own thing is a generous act. Being gifted creates obligations, which means you owe the world your best effort at the work you love. You too are a natural resource.

Resentment is weak and lowers your self-esteem.

Find what you love, because greatness is based on great gifts. If you love something, you can count on the fact that you are genetically gifted at it.

You cannot tell your heart what it wants. Your heart will tell you

Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish.

When you play it too safe, you’re taking the biggest risk of your life. Time is the only wealth we’re given.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.

Sometimes life isn’t about who you were or are, but it’s about who you are becoming.

To remain healthy a man must have some goal, some purpose in life that he can respect and be proud to work for.

To understand is to experience harmony between what we aim at and what is given, between the intention and the performance – and the body is our anchorage in the world.

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ….get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted.

We never had planned to hijack a ship. We never thought of any war plans outside the Palestinian lands. We wished that the program had not failed and then the warriors could have achieved their goals.

Any nation or power in this world that tries to get in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.

Unity is the ultimate goal of all the ways of God.

We’ve got goals we’re trying to reach, and “Overtime” is the only way to do it, and “Champion” is the only thing we’re tryin’ to be.

The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.
