People getting ready to go to jobs that they don’t like, jobs that are making them sick. You see when you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide. When you have some goal out here that you are stretching for and reaching for that takes you out of your comfort zone, you’ll find out some talents and abilities you have that you didn’t know you have.
You can start over again! Don't even think about quitting now! It is easy to replay in your mind how things did not work, how much you lost, what you are going through, how angry you are. There is no amount of conversation or magic that is going to wipe the slate clean. You are wasting valuable time and energy that could be used to regain a new normal and start another version of your life. Even though you are hurt and you may be feeling down — stop kicking yourself! Face what has happened. Make the decision to start over again.
Never let someone’s opinion become your reality. Never sacrifice who you are because someone else has a problem with it. Love who you are inside and out.
When you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide.
Be willing to go all out, in pursuit of your dream. Ultimately it will pay off. You are more powerful than you think you are.
To achieve something you have never achieved before you must become someone you have never been.
Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.
The greatest revenge is massive success.
Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.
You can't see the picture when you're in the frame.
If you want to be rich watch what rich people do everyday and do it. And watch what poor people do and don't do it.
There comes a time when you have to drop your burdens in order to fight for yourself and your dreams.
You cannot be wimpy out there on the dream-seeking trail. Dare to break through barriers, to find your own path.
