Don't ever be impressed with goal setting. Be impressed with goal getting.

A person of responsibility can trust himself to choose the right thing over the easy thing.

When you are influential and highly respected, people tend to tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear. They are seeking your approval, or they flatter you. Unfortunately, this creates a gap between what you hear and reality. If you find yourself in that situation, you will need to work extra hard to get the people close to you to speak honestly into your life. And you will have to become highly intentional in observing and listening.

Once our minds are 'tattooed' with negative thinking, our chances for long-term success diminish.

Every person has a longing to be significant; to make a contribution; to be a part of something noble and purposeful.

I can't raise the bar of others if I haven't raised the bar for myself.

We overestimate the event and underestimate the process. Every fulfilled dream occurred because of dedication to the process.
