People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it.

Wealth can also be that attitude of gratitude with which we remind ourselves everyday to count our blessings.

I just wanted to make a million dollars. But I couldn't sing and I couldn't play ball, so I said to my mother, 'How am I going to make a million dollars?' And she said to me, 'Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.'

Find something that you love. Something that gets you so excited you can't wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy.

It can be done, but you have to make it happen.

Claim ownership of your dreams

Strong people stand up for themselves. Stronger people stand up for others. The irony is that while sleep sometimes brings nightmares, it's the reality of my waking hours that can cause me the greater fear.
