Life is found in the dance between your deepest desire and your greatest fear.

Disappointment can drive us, or it can defeat us.

If we don't see a failure as a challenge to modify our approach, but rather as a problem with ourselves, as a personality defect, we will immediately feel overwhelmed.

People who experience negative or stressful emotions on an ongoing basis are less healthy and live shorter lives.

We aren't in an information age, we are in an entertainment age.

Find a great role model, perhaps someone who struggled and only really succeeded when older. Their biography and what they've done differently from you will help you. If such a person is willing to mentor you or at least allow you to work around them, great.

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.
