Most fears cannot withstand the test of careful scrutiny and analysis. When we expose our fears to the light of thoughtful examination they usually just evaporate.

Everything you should be an expression of your purpose. If an activity doesn't fit that formula, you wouldn't work on it. Period.

When you're nice to people, they want to be nice back to you.

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

If you hang in there long enough, you will eventually reach your goal.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

When your dreams include service to others - accomplishing something that contributes to others - it also accelerates the accomplishment of that goal. People want to be part of something that contributes and makes a difference.
