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.

"Every day,

think as you wake up,

today I am fortunate to be alive.

I have a precious human life

and I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use all of my energies to develop myself,

to expand my heart out to others,

to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.

I am going to have kind thoughts toward others.

I am not going to get angry or think badly about others.

I am going to benefit others as much as I can."

“Let me tell you something you already know.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It's a very mean and nasty place,
and I don't care how tough you are,
it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward;
how much you can take
and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done!
Now, if you know what you're worth,
then go out and get what you're worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hits,
and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain't you.
You're better than that!
I'm always gonna love you, no matter what.
No matter what happens.
You're my son and you're my blood.
You're the best thing in my life.
But until you start believing in yourself,
you ain't gonna have a life.”

The easiest way to set goals is
to answer the following questions:
What is it I want to achieve?
When do I want to achieve it?
Where am I today
and what action do I need to take to achieve my goal?
Every single life only becomes great when
the individual sets upon a goal
or goals which they really believe in,
which they can really commit themselves to,
which they can put their whole heart and soul into.
Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make,
both consciously and unconsciously.
If you can control the process of choosing,
you can take control of all aspects of your life.
You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

“The person without a purpose

is like a ship without a rudder.”

“Construct your determination with

Sustained Effort, Controlled Attention, and Concentrated Energy.

Opportunities never come to those who wait…

they are captured by those who dare to attack.”

“Success is stumbling from
failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
“Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.”
“To persist with a goal,
you must treasure the dream
more than the costs of sacrifice to attain it.”

“Excellence is the Result of Caring more than others think is Wise,
Risking more than others think is Safe,
Dreaming more than others think is Practical,
and Expecting more than others think is Possible.”
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence,
but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

“If you limit your choice only to what seems possible or reasonable,
you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,
and all that is left is a compromise.”
“Most humans, in varying degrees,
are already dead.
In one way or another they have lost their dreams,
their ambitions, their desire for a better life.
They have surrendered their fight for self-esteem
and they have compromised their great potential.
They have settled for a life of mediocrity,
days of despair and nights of tears.
They are no more than living deaths
confined to cemeteries of their choice.
Yet they need not remain in that state.
They can be resurrected from their sorry condition.
They can each perform the greatest miracle in the world.
They can each come back from the dead...”
“Stop lying to yourself.
When we deny our own truth,
we deny our own potential.”
The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed,
a new continent unexplored,
a world of possibilities
waiting to be released and channeled

“The true measure of success is
how many times you can bounce back from failure.”
“Manifesting is a lot like making a cake.
The things needed are supplied by you,
the mixing is done by your mind
and the baking is done in the oven of the universe.”
“Never allow your mind to
wander untamed like a wild animal
that exists on the basis of survival of the fittest.
Tame your mind with consistent focus on your goals and desires.”
“Focusing is the great secret of power.
If you want to use your full amount of focus,
you must close down all other thought
and direct your power of generating mental steam toward one outcome.”

“There is a price to be paid for any accomplishment.”
“willingness to work-hard
and indomitable willpower
are vital for any accomplishment.”
“Never dare to turn your subconscious mind into a shelter for thoughts or beliefs
that aren't working in your favor.”
“Consistent positive self-talk
is unquestionably one of the greatest gifts to one's subconscious mind.”
“Affirmations are positive statements
and they need to be spoken with absolute, unadulterated faith.
If you only speak with your mouth,
without an iota of feeling in your heart and belief in your mind,
then you’re going the wrong way!
You need to feel the vibrancy,
the truth, and the positivity of these statements.
You need to write them on your mind-slate,
create an indelible influence, and engrave them in your consciousness.
You can only do that by following the Three Golden Rules of Affirmations
Repetition, Belief, and Positive Expectation.
Remember,
by making affirmations,
you are consciously programming your mind to think in a certain way,
so that hopeful and happy thinking becomes a part of your being.
Affirmations are a way to train the mind;
and training happens when you practice, practice, practice!
Training requires conscious effort, discipline, belief, and consistency.
That is exactly how you need to practice your affirmations.”
