Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

You must accept responsibility for your actions, but not the credit for your achievements.

Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.

The winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.
