Passion behind a clear goal is a powerful force. You can gain enormous control over that force by focusing on one small step that you need to take.
When it appears as though someone isn't trying to achieve something tremendous, it doesn't necessarily mean they are fearful, untalented, or unmotivated. Sometimes it is because they already have the happiness and contentment in their life that others are still seeking.
There is more to success than reaching goals.... Success must also include a joyful appreciation of living — an authentic joy that pulls us toward the next episode of our life's purpose.
The ultimate recipe for achievement is working cooperatively with others to improve the quality of life for all.
To get where we want to go, we need to be honest about where we are now.
No action is too small; no choice is insignificant. Together they are the brush strokes that create the final masterpiece of our design.
Life isn't just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one peak to the next. If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted to quit. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.
Persistence is a common foundation beneath the achievements of every successful man and woman.
It is more naive to risk nothing and gain nothing than to risk failure and gain experience.
Setbacks are included in the price tag of success; they teach tenacity and provide experiences that let us achieve our goals with compassion and dignity.
If you have made a positive difference in one individual's life, you have succeeded in making a positive difference for many!
Whether it takes ten minutes, a hundred plans, or a life time, we can achieve our goals only if we take a stand and begin. Our Creator provides the talent, desire, and a limited number of chances to show up at the starting line. Today is another of those chances.
Winning is not a true measure of success. Success for its own sake or winning to acquire trophies and awards overlooks true success that can only be measured by inner growth.
Our standard for success can fill our lives with many rewards. It can also challenge us to grow in faith, compassion, and integrity. Then we will graduate from each chapter of life as winners on the inside as well as the outside.
The Creator placed the seeds of success in the exact place they would be needed; they live inside of us, waiting to germinate, grow, and blossom.

Shalom!
