When you are tough on yourself, life is inevitably easy. When you are easy on yourself, life will be inevitably difficult.

Your first encounter of the day has a more direct bearing on your attitude for that day than your next five encounters.

A goal casually set and lightly taken is freely abandoned at the first obstacle.

Don't listen to people who tell you what to do. Listen people who encourage you to do what's right in your heart.

Say "no" to the good and say "yes" to the best.

Far too many people have no idea of what they can do because all they have been told is what they can't do. They don't know what they want because they don't know what's available for them.

You have to 'be'' before you can 'do', and do before you can 'have'.
