Self-esteem is a huge piece of my work. You have to believe it's possible and believe in yourself. Because after you've decided what you want, you have to believe it's possible, and possible for you, not just for other people. Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches.
Our feelings are a feedback mechanism to us about whether we're on track or not, whether we're on course or off course.
Success isn't magic or hocus-pocus - it's simply learning how to focus.
There is no right reaction. There is only your reaction.
One individual can begin a movement that turns the tide of history. Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement, Mohandas Ganhi in India, Nelson Mandela in South Africa are examples of people standing up with courage and non-violence to bring about needed changes.
You and you alone are responsible for taking actions to create the life of your dreams. Nobody else can (or will) do it for you.
If you love your work, if you enjoy it, you're already a success.
If it ain't fun don't do it.
There are essentially two things that will make you wise -- the books you read and the people you meet.
I think there's too much emphasis placed on learning things by rote that you don't really care about. So what happens to students in school is that they eventually lose interest in learning, because they've been forced to learn the required courses, rather than pursing their passion.
One way to kill an opportunity is to avoid taking it.
Super-successf ul people aren’t the most gifted people in their fields. They just work, study and practice more than the competition.
Change is inevitable in life. You can either resist it and potentially get run over by it, or you can choose to cooperate with it, adapt to it, and learn how to benefit from it. When you embrace change you will begin to see it as an opportunity for growth.
It is those very things that we are most afraid to do that provide the greatest liberation and growth for us.
