The most successful people I know create superior results yet still maintain a balance among work, family, and recreation in their lives.

I don't blame or complain about things like the economy, the government, taxes, employees, gas prices, or any of the external things that I don't have control over. The only thing I have control over is my response to these things.

Remember, what you continually talk about, comes about.

To be 'on purpose' means you're doing what you love to do, doing what you're good at, and accomplishing what's important to you.

The best way to establish rapport with people and to win them over to your side is to be truly interested in them, to listen with the intention of really learning about them. When the person feels that you are really interested in getting to know them and their feelings, they will open up to you and share their true feelings with you much more quickly.

You only have control over three things in your life - the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take (your behavior). How you use these three things determines everything you experience. If you don't like what you are producing and experiencing, you have to change your responses.

Don't kid yourself. Be honest with yourself. Take your own inventory.
