When you wake up, think about winning the day. Don’t worry about a week or a month from now – just think about one day at a time.
You can’t be common, the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon.
I’ve always been trying to write songs like Lightfoot. A song of mine like ‘Come Monday’ is a direct result of me trying to write a Gordon Lightfoot song.
Your habits will determine your future.
Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.
Discipline is consistency of action.
There’s no such thing as bad weather – only the wrong clothes.
Don’t let the sadness from the past and fear of the future ruin the happiness of the present.
Go big or go home. Because it’s true. What do you have to lose?
Stay curious, keep learning and keep growing. And always strive to be more interested than interesting.
It’s never too late to start the day over.
If you’re afraid to fail, you’ll never succeed.
Better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes a willingness to try.
Mondays are fine. It’s your life that sucks.
Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works. So they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day. They have no habit of ‘I do this and you give me cash’ unless it’s illegal.
Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. Most of all, other people can’t stop you. Only you can stop you.
Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it!
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.
No one can take away your pain, so don’t let anyone take away your happiness.
Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
