I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
If you want to have more, you have to become more. For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to become better. If you improve, everything will improve for you. If you grow, your money will grow; your relationships, your health, your business and every external effect will mirror that growth in equal correlation.
If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are.
Make sure the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside of you
The more you know the less you need to say.
You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills
Managers help people see themselves as they are; Leaders help people to see themselves better than they are.
Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.
Focus on the solution, not on the problem.
If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door or making that extra call may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door or call.
You've got to believe in the possibilities. You've got to believe that tomorrow can be better than today. And here's the big one. Believe in yourself.
Treat your body like a temple, not a woodshed. The mind and body work together. Your body needs to be a good support system for the mind and spirit. If you take good care of it, your body can take you wherever you want to go, with the power and strength and energy and vitality you will need to get there.
Success lies in the opposite direction of the normal pull.
The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of those who don't.
An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
There is no shortage of opportunity. There is only a shortage of those who will apply themselves to the basics that success requires.
The best place to solve a problem is on paper.
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.
Learn how to say no. Don't let your mouth overload your back.
