Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.

You must think of failure and defeat as the spring boards to new achievements, and to the next level of accomplishment.

Never, under any conditions allow circumstances to determine your reality.

One of the most essential things you need to do for yourself is to choose a goal that is important to you. Perfection does not exist - you can always do better and you can always grow.

Your dream was given to you. If someone else can't see it for you, that's fine, it was given to you and not them. It's your dream. Hold it. Nourish it. Cultivate it!

See yourself confronting your fears in your mind's eye and handling those fears like a champ.

It is better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit.
