Focus on what you can control: your actions. How you react to negative feelings will be the key to your success.
Life is change; growth is optional. Choose wisely.
Vision remains vision until you focus, do the work, and bring it down to earth where it will do some good.
Luck does not come around often. So when it does, be sure to take full advantage of it, even if it means working very hard. When luck is on your side it is not the time to be modest or timid. It is the time to go for the biggest success you can possibly achieve. That is the true meaning of thinking big.
Difficulties break some men but make others.
Being defeated is only a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.
Sorry it had to end this way but uh, it is what it is …
Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.
Sometimes you need conflict in order to come up with a solution. Through weakness, oftentimes, you can’t make the right sort of settlement, so I’m aggressive, but I also get things done, and in the end, everybody likes me.
The one thing coaches cannot tolerate… is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn.
It is in the ordinary events of every day that we develop the proactive capacity to handle the extraordinary pressures of life. It’s how we make and keep commitments, how we handle a traffic jam, how we respond to an irate customer or a disobedient child. It’s how we view our problems and where we focus our energies. It’s the language we use.
At the still-point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.
When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards!
See yourself as a work in progress.
Ability can take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
Remember this: Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.
Always think positively and expect the best.
Decide what you want, and decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.
