When we carve out a niche for ourselves in our imagined future, and decide that we won't be happy until we achieve it, we can only feel threatened and anxious over anything that stands in our way.

For many people, change is more threatening than challenging. They see it as the destroyer of what is familiar and comfortable rather than the creator of what is new and exciting.

Total, unconditional acceptance of yourself is the first step in building a positive self-image.

Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all you energies on a limited set of targets.

It's not enough to create value, you have to interpret the value for your prospects and customers so that they can feel the value emotionally and empirically.

Make a strong and permanent commitment to invest your talents only in pursuits that deserve your best efforts.

If what you are doing is worth doing, hang in there until it is done.
