“Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.”

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence.

Commitment doesn’t guarantee success, but lack of commitment guarantees you’ll fall far short of your potential.

We are supposed to forgive everyone; everyone includes ourselves.

Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.

What you leave in your children, is more important than what you leave to them.

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

You are an uncut gemstone of priceless value. Cut and polish your potential with knowledge, skills and service and you will be in great demand throughout your life.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don’t spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

Don’t ‘take care’, take a risk!

Losers let it happen; winners make it happen!

Make certain that your goals are not measured in comparison with others.

By staying focused and flexible, you will meet and exceed your major life-forming goals. Success is not a resting-place – it is a launching pad.

Real power comes by empowering others.

You become that to which you are most exposed.

If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
