Optimism boosts your energy and focuses your sights on reaching your goals, rather than wallowing in your setbacks.

Everyone is motivated a little or a lot to do something or nothing. Motivation is the internalized drive toward the dominant thought of the moment. By definition, motivation is "motive in action."

One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project.

People who seek attention, need all the help they can get.

Doubters don't win, winners don't doubt.

Understand that you, yourself, are no more than the composite picture of all your thoughts and actions. In your relationships with others, remember the basic and critically important rule: If you want to be loved, be lovable. If you want respect, set a respectable example!

There never was a winner that didn't expect to win in advance.
