Consult not your fears
but your hopes and your dreams.
Think not about your frustrations,
but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,
but with what it is still possible for you to do.

The galleries are full of critics.
They play no ball, they fight no fights.
They make no mistakes because they attempt nothing.
Down in the arena are the doers.
They make mistakes because they try many things.
The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
He is the one who never tries anything.
His is the brake on the wheel of progress.
And yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes,
because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing,
except criticize those who do things.

For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.
Develop your willpower
so that you can make yourself do what you should do,
when you should do it,
whether you feel like it or not.
No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed.
No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined.
No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.
No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.

It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs,
who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who neither know victory nor defeat.

The vision must be followed by the venture.
It is not enough to stare up the steps
we must step up the stairs.
There is no moment like the present.
The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him
can have no hope from them afterwards:
they will be dissipated, lost, and perish
in the hurry and scurry of the world,
or sunk in the slough of indolence.
Success will never be a big step in the future,
success is a small step taken just now.

“Learn and train yourself to take the hits in life.
Obstacles, barriers and setbacks will come.
What matters is how you tackle them,
work your way around or find your way through them.”
“Remember that setbacks are only challenges in disguise.
Look at them as lessons . . .
don't waste time beating yourself up.
Just get back on track
and focus on what you want.
it’s up to you ,
and you will do it!”
The best preparation for tomorrow is
doing your best today.
Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

I found every single successful person I've ever spoken to had a turning point.
The turning point was when they made a clear,
specific unequivocal decision
that they were not going to achieve success.
Some people make that decision at 15
and some people make it at 50,
and most people never make it at all.
Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary
entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well.
Sometimes your greatest asset is simply
your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else

Courage is reclaiming your life
after a devastating event robs you of your confidence and self-esteem.
It is facing tomorrow with a firm resolve to reach deep within yourself
to find another strength, another talent...
It is taking yourself to another level of your own existence
where you are once again whole, productive, special...
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear
not absence of fear.
Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.
There can be no courage unless you're scared.

“The purpose of life is to live it,
to taste experience to the utmost,
to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
“You must live in the present,
launch yourself on every wave,
find your eternity in each moment.
Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land.
There is no other land;
there is no other life but this.”
“I, not events,
have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
I can choose which it shall be.
Yesterday is dead,
tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.
I have just one day, today,
and I'm going to be happy in it.”
Self-explanatory
