"When you want something, you have to be willing to pay your dues." 

"You can complain about the direction of your life all you want, but until you sit in the driver’s seat and begin to drive yourself, you aren't going to get where you want to go!" 

You can get the kind of results that you are looking for in life if you are willing to work smart to achieve them. 

Fear does not have any special power unless you empower it by submitting to it. You can accept that you are afraid and then move on. 

"Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!" 

"Perfection does not exist - you can always do better and you can always grow." 

"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."

I am often fascinated by the resiliency of some of the people I meet. Life keeps knocking them down, but in what seems to be outright defiance, they keep getting up, stronger and better than before. 

Sometimes we have to discard the tools that we have long depended on and look to new ones. This is especially true in businesses where changing technology demands workers have the ability to change with it. 

"If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you." 

"You cannot be wimpy out there on the dream-seeking trail. dare to break through barriers, to find your own path." 

When you decide to move your life to the next level of accomplishment, you must fasten you mental and spiritual seat belts because it is going to be a while before you reach that comfortable level again. 

Always realize that you can get better. Your best work has not been done yet. Practice! Practice! Practice!
