Adversity is an effective, thorough and highly personalized teacher.

Procrastinating, fighting and avoiding will only make it more difficult. The way out is to get it done.

Begin each day with the expectation that it will bring something new, something to which you can say yes.

If you so choose, every mistake can lead to greater understanding and effectiveness. If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.

One of the greatest motivators is desire. If the desire is strong enough you will do whatever it takes to achieve. Just connect your actions with your true desires.

It doesn't matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it.

When the path becomes difficult, that's no reason to give up. In fact, it means you're making real progress.
