It's not how long you live, but how you live that's important. Therefore, don't make your life just livable, make it memorable.

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.

You've got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can't touch other people if you're not touched. You can't move other people if you're not moved. So if you're just giving some frickin talk you've memorized over and over again, you're going to have a flat affect. If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.

When people 'succeed' they tend to party, when they 'fail' they tend to ponder.

Self-development is the only thing that keeps a person from burning out. We all have many needs - the need for certainty, the need for variety, the need for significance, and the need for connection. But, ultimately, we must grow, and we must contribute in a meaningful way in order to feel fulfilled.

Progress equals happiness.

Your current conditions do not reflect your ultimate potential, but rather the size and quality of goals upon which you currently are focusing.
