Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. Failures make their decisions slowly and change their minds quickly.

We begin to forgive by choosing to forgive . . . by deciding, not by feeling. Our feelings don't lead us to forgive. Most times, our feelings lead us the other way. That's why a person has to decide to forgive first. Our feelings always follow along behind our decisions.

I'm not saying don't do the work you got, but instead of this two hours of watching TV at the hotel lobby or this three hours of sitting under the pier and reading comic books or worrying about what you're doing ... what value do you have? Can you read? There are people out there who can't read - go read to them.

A life filled with opportunities and encouragement finds more and more opportunities and encouragement, and success becomes inevitable.

The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose. Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.

Intention without action is an insult to those who expect the best from you.

Your big picture will never be a masterpiece if you ignore the tiny brushstrokes. You're trying so hard to be successful that true success is eluding you.
