“One of the major keys to success is to keep moving forward on the journey, making the best of the detours and interruptions, turning adversity into advantage.”

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.

The length and breath of our influence on others are directly related to the depth of our concern for them.

Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.

The best way to help people is to see the best in them.

If you can learn to understand people how they think, what they feel, what inspires them, how they’re likely to act and react in a given situation- then you can motivate and influence them in a positive way.

If you don’t change the direction you are going, then you’re likely to end up where you’re heading.

If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.

Leadership is taking responsibility while others are making excuses.

When you make a commitment, you create hope. When you keep a commitment you create trust!

Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.

Your goal as a leader isn’t to be indispensable to the people you lead; it is to leave your people something that is indispensable to them.

Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing. That’s the Law of Consistency. It doesn’t matter how talented you are. It doesn’t matter how many opportunities you receive. If you want to grow, consistency is key.

Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.

To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.

The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.

If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.

Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives. The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo.

The reason we have few friends in adversity, is, because we have no true ones in prosperity.

Adversity can strengthen you if you have the will to grind it out.

In estimating the adversities of life, we would seldom have much reason to complain of the evils we suffer, did we understand the dangers we daily escape.

There are uses to adversity, and they don’t reveal themselves until tested. Whether it’s serious illness, financial hardship, or the simple constraint of parents who speak limited English, difficulty can tap unexpected strengths.

Strength is formed in the womb of adversity.

Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities.

I’m here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.
