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

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.

All your hopes, dreams, goals and aspirations are amenable to hard work.

Success comes to those who are willing to launch toward their goals with no guarantees of success – and persist when there is every reason to give up.

Inspiration comes from displacement. Get out of your comfort zone, the rewards are legion.

We seem to prefer a comfortable lie to the uncomfortable truth. We punish those who point out reality, and reward those who provide us with the comfort of illusion. Reality is fearsome .. but experience tells us that more fearsome yet is evading it.

The general public will almost always stand behind the traditionalists. In the public eye, architecture is about comfort, about shelter, about bricks and mortar.

America is a very seductive place in terms of lifestyle and comfort, but it wasn’t for me.

I think everyone is a case-by-case basis. Whatever the circumstances are that come with any individual, they exist and you have to make a determination as to what your comfort level is with that person and the characteristics that they bring.

This is how we must comport ourselves if we are to fulfill our Lord’s command in the Gospel of John (17:21), Ut unum sint, that all may be one.

There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.

The further you get away from yourself, the more challenging it is. Not to be in your comfort zone is great fun.
