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.
You must be willing to do things today others won't do, in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have
Failure is not a destination; it’s an invitation to unforeseen VICTORIES.
We were all born with a certain degree of power. The key to success is discovering this innate power and using it daily to deal with whatever challenges come our way.
No test... no testimony. You can not make lemonade with sugar alone... you must have some sour lemons. You can not learn good horsemanship by riding a tame horse. The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory. Regardless of what happens to you, never say you are having a bad day... say you are having a character building day. All the things that you are going through are building your character. You are being shaped and designed for your greatness. You have something special! You have GREATNESS within you!
The key to success is discovering your innate power and using it daily.
Things are not going to improve for you in life until YOU improve
Whatever life may send your way - make the best of it. Don't waste your time and energy worrying about it. Instead, find a way to do something about it. Learn from it, adjust to it, be strong, be flexible and be your best in every situation.
