The only thing that can possibly keep you from going after your dreams is the person standing in your shoes, wearing your clothes, and thinking your negative thoughts.

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

The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry our their dream.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Avoid head trash. Don't be a garbage can for anything that does not feed your intellect, stimulate your imagination, or make you a more compassionate peaceful person. Refuse to open your mind to other people's trash. Tune out anything that promotes conflict or controversy. This can infect you with a mind virus of cynicism or defeat, and you won't even know it!

In the prosperous times, you put it in your pocket; in the lean times, you put it in your heart and that's when you discover who you are.

How to discover your greatness? By upgrading our relationships and by having goals beyond our comfort zone.
