Every second you spend thinking about what you don't want in your life is a second denying focus and energy from getting what you do want. Every minute you worry about what's not working is a minute drawn away from creating what will work. And every hour spent reflecting on the disappointments of the past is an hour stolen from seeing the possibilities that your future holds.

Remember, every great leader (or visionary or brave thinker) was initially laughed at. Now they are revered.

While victims condemn change, leaders grow inspired by change.

Nothing fails like success. Because when you are at the top, it's so easy to stop doing the very things that brought you to the top.

The most fully actualized people that I studied over ten years consistently pushed the envelope. These people consistently demanded far more of themselves every day than anyone else ever expected from them. These people raised their standards and committed themselves from their hearts to be the best they could be and to live a life of uncommon wonder. This is what self-mastery is all about.

Measure your success by your inner scorecard versus an outer one.

What you focus on grows. What you concentrate on is what you see more of in your life.
