You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.

We all have an emotional home that we keep coming back to. Even if a foundationally angry or sad person has a good job and good family, they return to their emotional home, especially when experiencing life's inevitable setbacks.

If we surround ourselves with people who are successful, who are forward-moving, who are positive, who are focused on producing results, who support us, it will challenge us to be more and do more and share more. If you can surround yourself with people who will never let you settle for less than you can be, you have the greatest gift that anyone can hope for.

Deciding to commit yourself to long term results rather than short term fixes is as important as any decision you'll make in your lifetime.

I can't give other people what I've not experienced to some extent myself. It sharpens your game and also, like any athlete, you're more fit because you have to be. You're getting ready because you have a reason to.

I still love coming home, but home is where the heart is. I take those whom I love most with me. That's my number one. My number two is being ready.

When life's conditions don't equal your expectations you are unhappy, have no expectations only appreciations (especially in the area of relationships)
