Thinking is a habit, and like any other habit, it can be changed; it just takes effort and repetition.

I have discovered that I cannot enhance anybody's performance without getting them not only to live with the butterflies that come with high-pressure jobs but to embrace that kind of physical response, enjoy it, get into it. That's the first real ticket to being a performer who thinks exceptionally.

Stick with your own perception of yourself-living in your own world-and letting your reality, not the reality presented by other people or particular situations, control your performance.

Confidence is consistency of thinking about what is possible and how to make it possible.

The true exceptional performer is on super pilot. Every single sense, every fiber of his body is brought together in what he is doing.

The idea of perfect closes your mind to new standards. When you drive hard toward one ideal, you miss opportunities and paths, not to mention hurting your confidence. Believe in your potential and then go out and explore it; don't limit it.

We must not sit down and wait for miracles. Up and be going!
