"We only get one life to live, my friend. What a
tragedy that so many people never achieve their dreams and their true potential
and many never even get started reaching for their dreams, all because
they never learned the power of extreme focus."
"Make a commitment to yourself. Promise yourself
that, starting today, you are through procrastinating."
"Immediately, now, right this very moment, you are going
to get started building your dreams. And once you have made that
promise to yourself, keep it. Honour it."
"All great achievements begin with passion, an intense,
all consuming desire to dare to do something on a grand scale."
"Some people lack the flexibility and imagination to pursue
new dreams. They hit a wall in their chosen career and never realize
that they can choose to reinvent themselves and reimaging their dreams."
"If you want to have an exciting, meaningful, thrill-packed
life, you've got to be passionate about your dreams."
"You've got to find out what you truly love to do, then
passionately invest your life in the pursuit of that dream."
"When you live your life with passion, every minute of
every day is full of wonder and significance. You can't help but
succeed."
"The power of passion helps to keep you from veering off
onto detours, rabbit trails, and dead-end streets. The person who
is passionate about one great goal doesn't get distracted by five or lesser
goals."
"When you know what you do best, when you know what your
true passion is, then you know where to focus your energies."
"Failure is a great teacher, and it is often only by learning
the lessons of failure that we gain the mastery and skills for achieving
our dreams."
"It's important to consider the feelings, dreams and goals
of your life partner, but as you do, remember to remain true to your own
values, character and dreams of a better life."
"Breaking large goals into small steps is a great way
to conquer procrastination."
"In order to prepare for tomorrow, we must use our time
wisely today."
"Planning and preparation are necessary for success, but
changing circumstances force you to adjust."
"Most people see problems and interruptions as obstacles.
Winners see them as opportunities to prove what they can do. Champions
eat problems for breakfast."
"Whenever unforeseen events arise, meet them with a smile
and a positive attitude."
"Never try to be better than somebody else, but never cease trying to be the best you can be. You have control over that. Not the other. In other words, you control your own effort, but you can't control what other people do."
