The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.
If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.
You may only succeed if you desire succeeding; you may only fail if you do not mind failing.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear.
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
We become what we think about most of the time, and that's the strangest secret.
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus. Bruce Lee
Rarely have I seen a situation where doing less than the other guy is a good strategy.
Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.
If you genuinely want something, don't wait for it--teach yourself to be impatient.
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!
