When you study the lives of all great achievers-those who have had the greatest influence on others, those who have made things happen-you will find a pattern. Through their persistent efforts and inner struggle, they have greatly expanded their four native human intelligences or capacities. The highest manifestations of these four intelligences are: for mental, vision; for the physical, discipline; for the emotional, passion; for the spiritual, conscience. These manifestations also represent our highest means of expressing our voice.

A good affirmation has five basic ingredients: it's personal, it's positive, it's present tense, it's visual, and it's emotional.

As we create synergy among the roles of our lives, there's more of us to put into the time we have.

Those who get the most out of life and those who give the most are those who make the choice to act.

The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.

The place to begin building any relationship is inside ourselves, inside our circle of influence, our own character.

It is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.
