People are like sticks of dynamite. The power is on the inside, but nothing happens until the fuse gets lit.

You can't fake passion. It is the fuel that drives any dream and makes you happy to be alive.

I highly recommend setting aside pockets of time during each day for solitude. You might have only five or ten minutes, but be alone and uninterrupted. And then sometime each week devote an extended time - at least one hour - to reconnect with your soul. How and when you do it is a very personal thing, but plan it because solitude doesn't happen on its own. Make it a priority in your life.

Your dreams are the blueprints of your soul. They should take you by the hand and lead you toward your life's purpose and passion. They are one of, if not the greatest, source of self-motivation that you have. So nurture them and feed them inspiration whenever you can.

Dream big dreams, but never forget that realistic short-term goals are the keys to your success.

Attitudes truly are contagious, and from time to time we need to ask ourselves, 'Is mine worth catching?'

From the moment we wake up each morning to the time we hit the pillow at night, we hear what people have to say, but are we really listening?
