Keep moving ahead because action creates momentum, which in turn creates unanticipated opportunities.
Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.
It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.
Start small and dream big.
There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do-learn, commit, and do-and learn, commit, and do again.
Where attention goes, energy flows and results show.
If you want to move to a new level in your life, you must break through your comfort zone and practice doing things that are not comfortable.
Keep your eye on the goal, keep moving toward your target.
I failed my way to success.
A person with a clear purpose will make progress, even on the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress, even on the smoothest road.
Lack of emotion causes lack of progress and lack of motivation.
Progress is impossible without change.
The way to get ahead is to start now. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don’t know now and that you would not have known next year if you had waited.
You might occasionally feel that some people are standing in the way and slowing your progress, but in reality the biggest person standing in your way is you. Others can stop you temporarily – you are the only one who can do it permanently.
Free time is the enemy of progress.
As we progress into the twenty-first century, anyone who considers themselves a realist will have to make the environment a top priority.
Run your own race. Who cares what others are doing? The only question that matters is ‘Am I progressing?’
If it is not a mess, it is not progress.
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.
