It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now for what you want later.

Success is when you realize obstacles you face are challenges to help you become better - and your response equals the challenge.

True greatness will be achieved through the abundant mind that works selflessly - with mutual respect, for mutual benefit.

There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.

One thing's for sure. If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting. One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

True effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset (the goose).

Anytime we think the problem is 'out there,' that thought is the problem. We empower what's out there to control us. The change paradigm is 'outside-in' - what's out there has to change before we can change. The proactive approach is to change from the 'inside-out': to be different, and by being different, to effect positive change in what's out there - I can be more resourceful, I can be more diligent, I can be more creative, I can be more cooperative.
