Are we going to give up, or are we going to be the kind of people who stand up and do what it takes, even if we don't feel like doing it?

Successful people have all had to do things they didn't feel like doing in order to get where they are.

Your problem is not that you are too busy; your problem is that you don't own your situation.

A lot of "successful" people are tragedies, because what they've accomplished aren't the things they wanted. Intentionally create the question "how" instead of accidentally relenting to the question of "should." If I'm not intentionally choosing a good attitude, I'm almost always unintentionally choosing a negative one.

Channel your emotion into the excellence of doing something rather than the mediocrity of deciding whether or not to do it.

There is no such thing as time management; there is only self-management.

We're busy being busy. Distraction is a dangerously deceptive saboteur of our goals, because we are not present to how much time we lose. We're distracted by things like being in meetings or on conference calls, or we get on Facebook related to business and the updates of friends captivate our attention and an hour goes by before we wake up.
