If you haven’t already clearly defined your values, you may find yourself making choices that conflict with what you want. If, for example, honesty is a big thing for you, but you hang out with liars, there’s a conflict. When your actions conflict with your values, you’ll end up unhappy, frustrated, and despondent. In fact, psychologists tell us that nothing creates more stress than when our actions and behaviors aren’t congruent with our values.

Success is not for those who want it, nor those who need it, but for those who are utterly determined to seize it--whatever it takes.

Giving to others is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

If you truly want to be successful, spend less time following the lives of other people and more time leading your own.

It's not the big things that add up in the end; it's the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary.

Productivity isn't magic. It's discipline.

Success is not only the financial wealth you accumulate, it is also about being a leader, improving your relationships, living healthfully, and making a real difference in the world.
