Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't.

Not fulfilling your dreams will be a loss to the world, because the world needs everyone's gift - yours and mine.

Whatever your dreams are, start taking them very, very seriously.

Action helps you think and raises your self-esteem. Good luck happens when you're in action. Ask yourself, "Does this go toward or away from what I want?" There's an animal in us, and it has great instincts. Scan for a desire and follow it. Set a goal, any goal, and start doing everything you can think of to achieve it.

Sometimes the only thing we do to avoid success is refuse to be energetic on our own behalf

Doing your own thing is a generous act. Being gifted creates obligations, which means you owe the world your best effort at the work you love. You too are a natural resource.

A direct statement about yourself is considered objective only if it is negative. If it's positive, it is considered subjective. And 'objective' means it is accurate, and 'subjective' means it is conceited self-delusion.
