The real benefit of having goals is what you become by reaching them.

You got to have long range goals. You go as far as you can see, and when you get there, you will always be able to see further.

To reach your full potential, you have to set goals that will stretch you.

When you stop planning and preparing, you stop winning.

When you stop planning and preparing, you stop winning.

A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. But a vision and a task are the hope of the world.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

You don’t build a business – you build people – and people build the business.

Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days

You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win

You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily

Do it, and then you will feel motivated to do it

Its not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you

When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily

There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic

The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity

Winning is not everything, but the effort to win is

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes

If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost

If you want to reach a goal, you must see the reaching in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference

Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds

A goal properly set is halfway reached

You are the only person on earth who can use your ability

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want

Remember that failure is an event, not a person.

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there.

Failing is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night.

Others can stop you temporarily - you are the only one who can do it permanently.

Hope is the power that gives a person the confidence to step out and try.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

Don’t let others be your judge and jury with their pity and negative thoughts or feeling. Know that you are here for a reason. Recognize, develop, and use the resources you do have. Others see the surface; you know your heart.

If you don’t like who you are and where you are, don’t worry about it because you’re not stuck either with who you are or where you are. You can grow. You can change. You can be more than you are

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others.

Outside of your relationship with God, the most important relationship you can have is with yourself. I don’t mean that we are to spend all our time focused on me, me, me to the exclusion of others. Instead, I mean that we must be healthy internally, emotionally and spiritually – in order to create healthy relationships with others

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.

How happy a person is depends upon the depth of his gratitude. You will notice at once that the unhappy person has little gratitude toward life, other people and God.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for.

Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.

Happiness is not pleasure, it is victory

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.

Remember that failure is an event, not a person.

Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.

The major difference between the big shot and the little shot is the big shot is just a little shot who kept on shooting.

It makes no difference where you go, there you are. And it makes no difference what you have, there’s always more to want. Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.

Success and happiness are not matters of chance but choice.
