“Don’t let the negatives of life control you. Rise above them. Use them as your stepping stones to go higher than you ever dreamed possible.”

Each of us wants to feel good about himself or herself, but to me it is just as important to make others feel the same way.

People will support that which they help to create.

Left unattended, problems only intensify.

Don’t limit yourself.

I do believe in encouraging a person to compete with herself… at Mary Kay Cosmetics, we’ve made that philosophy a company policy.

You can go as far as your mind lets you.

The first step is the hardest – making a commitment to yourself, for yourself.

Over the years, I have observed that nearly all high achievers know how to make good of those 1440 minutes in each day.

Visualization is the human being’s vehicle to the future – good, bad, or indifferent. It’s strictly in our control.

I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Waiting for the end to come, Wishing I had strength to stand, This is not what I had planned, It’s out of my control.

Because I’m fairly big, I like to use my body. So I’ll control the ball, even when there’s a player on me, and then I’ll pass.

Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.

If you want a solid future, you need to create it. You can take charge of your future only when you take control of your income source. You need your own business.

Golf is fluid. It’s always changing. It’s always evolving. First of all, you never master it.

Discipline does not mean suppression and control, nor is it adjustment to a pattern or ideology. It means a mind that sees ‘what is’ and learns from ‘what was’.
