Proximity is power. If you can get proximity with people that are the best in the world, things can happen because all of the people they know, the insights they have and the life experience they have. They can save you a decade of time by one insight.

You must find something you want to live for that's bigger than yourself - a mission - whether it's your children, a business, a non-profit, whatever. That pulls you to achieve, which is far more sustainable than to push yourself to. You can only push yourself for so long.

Make your life a masterpiece: Step beyond the demands of the moment and begin right now to design and live the life you deserve.

Stop bullshitting yourself. You're not satisfied. You lowered your standards and are settling for a lot less.

People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky; they're doing something differently than everyone else.

Everybody's life is either rewarding or an example.

Keep your goals in front of you, and your fears behind you.
