“Not realizing what you want is a problem of knowledge. Not pursuing what you want is a problem of motivation. Not achieving what you want is a problem of persistence.”

The difference between where we are and where we want to be is created by the changes we are willing to make in our lives. When you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done to get it.

When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.

The person who insists on using yesterday’s methods in today’s world won’t be in business tomorrow.

Your success stops where your character stops. You can never rise above the limitations of your character.

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.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

God doesn’t move until we move first.

You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.

Discipline – Success doesn’t just happen. You have to be intentional about it, and that takes discipline.

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.

The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.

To move forward today, you must learn to say good-bye to yesterday’s hurts, tragedies and baggage. You can’t build a monument to past problems and fail forward.

Make personal growth a daily priority.

Every time you make a mistake, don’t bring up everything that’s wrong with yourself; tell yourself that you’re paying the price for growth and that you will learn to do better next time. Every positive thing you can say to yourself will help.

You never display your character more clearly than when you speak about the character of others.

If you want to be positive, upbeat, and passionate, you need to take responsibility for being that way.

To be a great autocrat you must be a great barbarian.

It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog.

If your child marches to a different beat, a different drummer, you might just have to go along with that music. Help them achieve what’s important to them.

We are built to be happy, strong and healthy. I fear not to live. We have everything to live up to our dreams. You have everything to achieve that, and in a very short period of time you can get all the tools to manifest who you want to be.

That which neither weapon nor flame could accomplish will be achieved by a sweet speaking tongue in council.

Happiness is not a tangible thing, it’s a byproduct – a byproduct of achievement.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs. When I was on drugs I couldn’t even find my bike.
