Greatness comes from living with purpose and passion.

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.

Welcome those big, sticky, complicated problems. In them are your most powerful opportunities.

When your reasons to move forward outweigh your excuses for staying put, you will move forward.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

Every moment you spend thinking about the bad stuff pushes that much more of the good stuff away.

One of the biggest threats to success is success itself. When you get a little bit ahead, it's all too easy to become complacent and to quickly lose what you have gained.
