Whether in the workplace or in personal relationships, success belongs to those who are willing to take responsibility for attaining their desires-those who respond to life actively rather than passively.

Do not marry the enemy of your excitement.

Either you will make your life work, or your life will not work.

If you face life without confidence in your own powers, you succumb too easily to setbacks and adversity; you lack the will to persevere.

Accepting does not necessarily mean liking, enjoying, condoning. I can accept what is-and be determined to evolve from there. It is not acceptance but denial that leaves me stuck.

Set goals that don't feel all that easy, that challenge you, stimulate you, and give you a chance to stretch and push yourself. That is where the power of growth lies.

We must become what we wish to teach.
