Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.
Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power. The thing itself cannot touch you. But if you allow your fear to seep into your mind and overtake your thoughts, it will rob you of your life.
I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
You only have to believe that you can succeed, that you can be whatever your heart desires, be willing to work for it, and you can have it.
‎Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.
As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.
The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.

What I know for sure is that behind every catastrophe, there are great lessons to be learned. Among the many that we as a country need to get is that as long as we play the "us and them" game, we don't evolve as people, as a nation, as a planet.
What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction
I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.
The essential question is not, "How busy are you?" but "What are you busy at?"
We create stress for ourselves because you feel like you have to do it. You have to. I don't feel that anymore
Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
Joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.
Real success means creating a life of meaning through service that fulfills your reason for being here.
There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.
I've talked to nearly 30,000, people on this show, and all 30,000, had one thing in common: They all wanted validation...I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire.
Everybody has a calling. And your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you were meant to be, and to begin to honor that in the best way possible for yourself.
