"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." 

"Just because fate doesn't deal you the right cards, it doesn't mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential." 

"Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them. When you face your fear, most of the time you will discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. We all need some form of deeply rooted, powerful motivation -- it empowers us to overcome obstacles so we can live our dreams." 

Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you." 

And when there isn't anything around to make me laugh, I make something up. 

"Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead."  

"If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness." 

"If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams." 

"If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present." 

Sometimes I believe it is best to take the child's approach to life, which assumes no limitation at all. Children set out to do things without knowing that they are not supposed to be able to do them. 

All of us need to grow continuously in our lives. If you are the same person now that you were a year ago or even a day ago, then you are not growing. 

"Forgive those who have hurt you." 

"I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom." 

"Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers." 

"Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead." 

When you feel a complaint coming on, step forward to take positive, productive actions instead. Use your time and energy to accomplish great things instead of worrying, placing blame or spreading criticism. 

"I learned from my mother that there is a greatness in all of us, and that all of us are delivered to this world with a mission." 

"Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours." 

"True honesty is hard. Throughout my career, I've faced moments where I've needed to take an honest look at myself and face some very uncomfortable realities." 

"The people who are doing what you want to do - the ones at the top of your field, the ones you look up to - all started right where you are now. They all had their own trials and obstacles. The only difference between them and you is their persistence and their drive." 

Remember that what you are feeling does not reflect your reality! We cannot always control the thoughts that come into our minds, but we can control the thoughts that we dwell on. 

"The things you want are always possible; it is just that the way to get them is not always apparent. The only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life is you, and that can be a considerable obstacle because you carry the baggage of insecurities and past experience." 

"You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature." 

"The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry our their dream."
