A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.
You take on the responsibility for making your dream a reality.
You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.
Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality.
If you fall, fall on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.
Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.
You must remain focused on your journey to greatness.
Our things are not overpriced. I have travelled a lot and I have seen prices of good garments sell for a lot overseas. For instance, overseas you will see linen pants for US$250, but no one will buy a linen pants for that price out here. So I know that price is not the issue.
People couldn't get down here. They couldn't find it, so they'd go a different way and go somewhere else.
Believe that you possess a basic goodness, which is the foundation for the greatness you can ultimately achieve.
Sometimes you've got to believe in someone else's belief in you until your belief kicks in.
Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you.
Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
