To acquire balance means to achieve that happy medium between the minimum and the maximum that represents your optimum. The minimum is the least you can get by with. The maximum is the most you're capable of. The optimum is the amount or degree of anything that is most favorable toward the ends you desire.

The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret.

Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

People can be unreliable and disloyal; possessions can lose their value; jobs that once stimulated you can become boring. But principles remain steady through it all.

Goals are simply a way of breaking a vision into smaller, workable units.

Teaching people skills without giving them a vision for a better future - a vision based on common values - is only training.

To mobilize yourself, decide what you want, determine what will get you what you want, then act - do what will get you what you want most to achieve.
