Stop being average. You’re not even good. You were born to be great.
Everybody has a dream, but not everybody has a grind.
At some point in life you have to face your fears.
Listen to me, even when you lose, it’s OK to lose, but you can never get comfortable with it. You can never be satisfied with losing. When you lose, it’s got to hurt.
You can’t sleep. Broke people sleep. You got to be willing to sacrifice sleep, if you sleep you may miss the opportunity to be successful.
I wanted to surround myself with the kind of people who could help me turn my life around; people whom I could rub up against like iron and be sharpened.
If you’re not where you are. If you’re not where you want to be. If you don’t have what you want, want to have. If you’re not where you think you should be at this particular place. It has nothing to do with the system, but it has everything to do with the fact that you’re not making the sacrifice.
You will never ever be successful, until you turn your pain into greatness, until you allow your pain to push you from where you are to push you to where you need to be. Stop running from your pain and embrace your pain. Your pain is going to be a part of your prize, a part of your product. I challenge you to push yourself.
Having a personality of caring about people is important. You can’t be a good leader unless you generally like people. That is how you bring out the best in them.
My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.
Trying to do the Lord’s work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.
Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you.
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.
