Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?
You can make excuses or you can make progress. You choose.
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.
Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts necessary to make a decision. Don’t keep putting off decisions.
The choices you make today design your future.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
When you don’t know what to do, do the thing in front of you.
Learn to distinguish what you can and can’t control. Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, desires and the things that repel us. They are directly subject to our influence.
Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.
You must be single minded. Drive for the one thing on which you have decided.
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
The cause of most of man’s unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now.
Do the right thing because it is right.
If you don’t have a plan for what you want, then you will probably find yourself buying into someone else’s plan and later find out that was not the direction you wanted to go. You’ve got to be the architect of your life.
Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.
Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.
Once a decision is made, you should stop worrying and start working. It’s not always what we know that makes it a good decision. It is what we do to implement and execute it that makes it a good decision.
There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.
