When you set goals, you have to keep them always in mind.

I've found that often, just when you think you've hit a wall, you experience a breakthrough that takes you to new heights in accomplishment

I've worked in the prison system for five years, and most of those folks in prison didn't have a direction.

Most people are defined by their titles, their cars, their house, where they came from, their color, their race, their religion. And so it's up to you to take control of your own life and define you. As long as you understand who you are and you have a solid foundation of understanding what your talents are, what your skills are.

I define myself by everything that I love, everything I can create, everything that I can imagine.

If you did the same thing you did yesterday as you did today as you will do tomorrow, what have you done? The same thing.

I'm pretty grounded on my own passion - writing books, you know, doing programs, speaking around the country. And I love what I do.
