You don't get what you want in life. You get who you are.
Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.
Don't confuse who you are with the results that you produce.
You can't get out of life alive.
We were all born with a certain degree of power. The key to success is discovering this innate power and using it daily to deal with whatever challenges come our way.
Life is a fight for territory and once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don't want will automatically take over.
