Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well.

You must continue to gain expertise, but avoid thinking like an expert.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining perspective. They make their lives a work of art - an individual masterpiece.

Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.

Personal satisfaction is the most important ingredient of success.

Out of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win.

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.

It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.

Life is the movie you see through your own eyes. It makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how you take it that counts.

Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.

To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.
