Motivation is like love and happiness. It's a by-product. When you're actively engaged in doing something, it sneaks up and zaps you when you least expect it.

A dream becomes a reality as a result of your actions, and your actions are controlled, to a large extent, by your habits.

Without a vision people and the church become self-centered. People start finding fault with one another and the church self-destructs.

Do not take the agenda that someone else has mapped out for your life.

Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities

A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. Few things in life are better than seeing people realize their potential. If you invest in people by helping individuals improve themselves, showing them the way to their “right place”, they will never be the same again. And neither will you. It is impossible to help others without helping yourself.

To be successful, you can't just run on the fast track; run on your track.
