We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation / it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams.
It is better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit.
No one gets out of the game of life alive. You either die in the bleachers, or on the field. So, you might as well play out on the field, and go for it.
Don’t waste another minute dealing with a toxic, negative, energy-draining person. Some people are wired for negativity. They love being argumentative, combative and abusive. Run for your life as quickly as possible.
There are two types of relationships: nourishing and toxic. Do not keep the toxic. What interaction does light have with darkness? None!
You don't get what you want in life. You get who you are.
We are risk averse by nature - but the only way you can reach your full potential is by taking chances. Understand that you are capable of far more than you've achieved, believe that you have something of value to share with the world, and take care to step outside of your comfort zone and into your greatness. Your courage will inspire others to do the same.
You have something special. You have greatness in you. You have the ability to do more than you can ever begin to imagine.
If it's hard, do it hard! Nobody said it would be easy.
If life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. And if you get up, you can stand up. And if you stand up, you can fight for your dream once again. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!
The only thing that can possibly keep you from going after your dreams is the person standing in your shoes, wearing your clothes, and thinking your negative thoughts.
Decisions can be a major challenge for all of us...
Doing great requires that we become great people, and all of us can become great people.
Do what you need to do, so that you can do what you want to do. Success and convenience do not go together. You have what it takes to be successful, so you have to step up your game and make room for it.
