One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like.
And that destination for which we should strive is one of a successful life not necessarily a life of success.
The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose. Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.
A life filled with opportunities and encouragement finds more and more opportunities and encouragement, and success becomes inevitable.
I believe that any type of education can be great, but an education about ourselves can create something wonderful. I am a comedian, but people have called me a motivational speaker. I don’t really consider myself that at all.
When you don’t know what to do, do something. I know you don’t know what to do and I know you can’t do everything right now, but you can do something.
When people have something proven to them, and they see that it really benefits them, they don’t have to be looking for a change or be at rock bottom. When they see something proven that is of benefit to them, they’ll turn around 180 degrees and never look back.
If, in fact, it is what’s inside us that makes all the difference, then the difference is made when we choose what goes inside.
Even in the worst time of life, if you are still breathing, that means you are still alive. If you are still here, you haven’t accomplished what is still to be accomplished. The most important part of your life is still ahead of you.
I believe persistence is a major key to success in any great endeavor. I want to remind folks to PERSIST in whatever they are tackling at the moment!
After all, the seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart.
Only true remorse and “Will you forgive me?” can press the reset button.
Whatever you focus upon, increases.
Much of your success in life is determined by how you choose to act in spite of how you feel.
I am a teacher and the reason I’m a teacher is because I’m learning as hard as I can. I’m not any different from anybody else. I am searching and having some success finding answers.
Truth is like a wild animal; let it loose and it will defend itself!
No matter how long it takes or how desperately a person battles or denies, the truth always-always-makes itself known.
Everything you do matters to all of us forever.
When a king begins to act like a king, it is not long before someone else is king! Serving is a way we can place value on one another. A wise man is a server.
The words It’s not my fault! should never again come from your mouth. The words It’s not my fault! have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Eve took her first bite of the apple.
