Problems are the gifts that make us dig out and figure out who we are, what we're made for, and what we're responsible to give back to life.

When people succeed they party, when people fail they ponder.

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

It's not can you, it's will you

Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.

I don't fix anybody, because I don't think anybody's broken. I think what people have are patterns, and those can be changed. People quickly understand that what's controlling their thoughts and emotions are their values and rules, and they learn how to shift those.

There's no abiding success without commitment.
