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.
Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
You must remain focused on your journey to greatness.
You're either living your dreams, or living your fears.
