The one element that stands out most clearly among our peak performers is their virtually unassailable belief in the likelihood of their own success.

People who have committed to a service/advocacy role will tell you that some of the sublimest pleasure they have ever experienced comes in the context of that work. You get way more than you give.

All athletic accomplishments begin with volition; that is, the desire and willpower necessary to succeed. Volition affects more than thoughts and feelings - it affects physical performance.

I've discovered that numerous peak performers use the skill of mental rehearsal of visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.

Values provide perspective in the best of times and the worst.

Can you have more than one major MISSION pervading your life? NO. That would be like coming to a fork in the road and trying to go both ways by straddling it.

On course doesn't mean perfect. On course means that even when things don't go perfectly - you are still going in the right direction.
