The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.

When you live your life by poor standards, you inflict damage on everyone who crosses your path, especially those you love.

You need to see things as they are, not worse than they are, than see them better than they are, and make them that way.

Don't follow the path. Blaze the trail.

There’s no way to succeed in business without the highest ethical standards.

My name is Jordan Belfort. I was raised in a tiny apartment in Queens. At the tender age of 22 I headed to Wall Street. Within months I started my own firm out of an abandoned auto body shop. The year I turned 26, I made 49 million dollars which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week.

You are not the mistakes of your past, but the resources and capabilities that you have gleaned from your past.
