Change your thinking. Change your life! Your thoughts create your reality. Practice positive thinking. Act the way you want to be, and soon you will be the way you act.
We have the responsibility to put our gifts to work.
When a show fails to destroy the competition-and it can fail while attracting 20 million viewers-it is itself destroyed.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Begin to read a book that will help you move toward your dream.
Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed, then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.
Make sure when you fall you land on your back if you can see you can get up.
Your dream was given to you. If someone else can't see it for you, that's fine, it was given to you and not them. It's your dream. Hold it. Nourish it. Cultivate it!
You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.
It's not over until I (you) win.
No one knows what they can do until they try.
Don't underestimate yourself. You are capable of more than you can ever imagine.
NEVER let other people's opinions of you determine your destiny.
