The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful people are not.

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.

Forget about willpower. It's time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You've got to want something, and know why you want it, or you'll end up giving up too easily.

The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices

Success is when what you THINK, SAY, and DO are the same.

Only when you’re willing to take 100 percent responsibility for making the relationship work will it work. Otherwise, a relationship left to chance will always be vulnerable to disaster.

Don't fake it till you make it. Be real, be transparent, be authentic and be yourself.
