Passion is the genesis of genius.

It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.

My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.

Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent.

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Remember, a real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

In life you need either inspiration or desperation.
