Ultimately, no man or woman is happy unless they have found a way to contribute beyond themselves.

We've all been put to sleep by somebody who's told us all these wonderful facts that didn't matter because information without emotion is not retained.

My favorite prayer is thank you. Most people are asking for things and not doing their part.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.

Your story is where you take it to, not where you start.

It's not what we do once in a while that counts, but our habitual actions. What ultimately determines who we become and where we go in life are our decisions. These decisions shape our destiny.
