The first step toward change is awareness. If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to start by becoming aware of the choices that lead you away from your desired destination.

There is not the management of time, there is only the management of you.

Seek out positive people who have achieved the success you want to create in your own life. Remember the adage: “Never ask advice of someone with whom you wouldn’t want to trade places.

Your waking adult life is going to be spent in what you do professionally, so you'd better like the journey and not just aim for the destination.

Commitment is doing the thing you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.

What controls your attention, controls your life

The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself. Sometimes you have to get out of that environment to see that dream fulfilled. It’s like planting an oak sapling in a pot. Once it becomes rootbound, its growth is limited. It needs a great space to become a mighty oak. So do you.
