Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.

Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.

Dont let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you.

You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers.

All of us need to grow continuously in our lives.

Life takes on meaning when you become motivated set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.

I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.

You don't get what you want in life. You get who you are!

Your ability to communicate is an important tool in your pursuit of your goals, whether it is with your family, your co-workers or your clients and customers.

In the end it is the person you become not the things you have achieved that is the most important.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.

We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it.

You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.

Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead.

Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.

I advise you to say your dream is possible and then overcome all inconveniences, ignore all the hassles and take a running leap through the hoop, even if it is in flames.

You dont get in life what you want you get in life what you are.

As you reach your goals set new ones. That is how you grow and become a more powerful person.

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.

Goals help you channel your energy into action.

Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.

There are two types of relationships: nourishing and toxic. Do not keep the toxic. What interaction does light have with darkness? None!

We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.

When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up.

When life knocks you down try to land on your back. Because if you can look up you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.

Don't underestimate yourself. You are capable of more than you can ever imagine.

Just because Fate doesn't deal you the right cards, it doesn't mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.

Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.

In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.

We are living in very challenging times. Pressured in the workplace and stressed out at home people are trying to make sense of their lives.

Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today.

When life knocks you down try to land on your back. Because if you can look up you can get up.

Practice only makes for improvement.

Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.

If you're going through hell, don't stop, keep moving!

Make each day count by setting specific goals to succeed, then putting forth every effort to exceed your own expectations.

If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone then you are forced to expand your consciousness.

Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.

Our ability to handle life's challenges is a measure of our strength of character.

A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.

Our ability to handle lifes challenges is a measure of our strength of character.

Your level of belief in yourself will inevitably manifest itself in whatever you do.

You must remain focused on your journey to greatness.

Lions don't have to roar. There is power in silence, confidence, and persistence. Those who work don't talk, and those who talk don't work. Handle your business. Measure your efforts by results. Focus your time, energy, and activity on mastering and executing a plan.

Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.

In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment put your head down and plow ahead.

If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.

If you fall, fall on your back. If you can look up, you can get up.

The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory.

You are the only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life.

In every day there are 1440 minutes. That means we have 1440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.

If you're not willing to risk, you cannot grow. If you cannot grow, you cannot be your best. If you cannot be your best, you cannot be happy. If you cannot be happy, what else is there?

You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change.

Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.

Life has no limitations except the ones you make.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality.

Believe that you possess a basic goodness which is the foundation for the greatness you can ultimately achieve.

There are winners, there are losers and there are people who have not yet learned how to win.

We were all born with a certain degree of power. The key to success is discovering this innate power and using it daily to deal with whatever challenges come our way.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.

We have to live life with a sense of urgency, so not a minute is wasted.

Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.

Fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases. Fear kills dreams!

Forgive those who have hurt you.

Just because Fate doesnt deal you the right cards it doesnt mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.

It is better to aim high and miss than to aim low and hit.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.

If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.

You take on the responsibility for making your dream a reality.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you to where you want to go, no one else.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.

Accept the consequences of your actions in order to become the agent of your mental, physical, spiritual and material success.

You need to make a commitment and once you make it then life will give you some answers.

When it comes to success it will come when it comes. A delay does not mean a denial.

No one rises to low expectations

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.

Honor your commitments with integrity.

Easy is not an option!

Your level of belief in yourself, will inevitably manifest itself, in whatever you do.

Unlike productions in the other arts, all television shows are born to destroy two other shows.

When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.

Your smile will give you a positive countenance that will make people feel comfortable around you.

The only thing that can possibly keep you from going after your dreams is the person standing in your shoes, wearing your clothes, and thinking your negative thoughts.
