Everything begins with a decision. Then, we have to manage that decision for the rest of your life.

Our attitudes cannot stop our feelings, but they can keep our feelings from stopping us.

Ordinary people with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on the their world.

In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand.

We are either the masters or victims of our attitudes. It is a matter of personal choice. Who we are today is the result of choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow, we will become what we choose today. To change means to choose change.

I wish I could say I coined the phrase "failing forward." I do it all the time. I find as I've embraced this approach to business, life, cycling and generally any new endeavor I take on, I've grown more and more comfortable with the possibility that I am not likely to succeed on my first try. And that's ok.

If you can become the leader you ought to be on the inside, you will be able to become the person you want on the outside. People will want to follow you. And when that happens, you'll be able to tackle anything in this world.
