The day you graduate from childhood to adulthood is the day you take full responsibility for your life.

Choose to make up for what you lack in innate ability with discipline, hard work, and good habits. Become a creature of champion habits.

If all the people around you are happy with you, you are not doing great work. When you stop being like other people, they stop liking you. That's just how it goes. There's no escaping it. And it's okay. What you need to understand about that disapproval is that it's a sign you're doing something right.

Hang out with those who have a common FUTURE with you; not a common past.

Fear doesn't prevent death, but it certainly prevents life.

When it comes to breaking old habits and starting new ones, remember to be patient with yourself. If you've spent twenty, thirty, or forty years or more repeating the behaviors you're now trying to change, you've got to expect it's going to take time and effort before you see lasting results.

The thought, 'I can't' is a lie. We use it to excuse ourselves from trying.
