When you have a problem, if you tell the truth, the problem becomes part of your past. If you lie, it becomes part of your future.

Learning to live in the present tense-one that's free from the failures of the past and the anxieties of the future-is a wonderful gift, and one you always should be striving for.

Long term success is a direct result of what you achieve everyday. Goals provide your daily routine

Make incremental progress, change comes not by the yard, but by the inch.
