On Achievement

A Hero is someone who the moment prior to becoming one was a reckless, irresponsible dreamer. One is successful just in the sincere attempt to become successful.

You cannot climb a mountain if you will not risk a fall.

When your star is rising
And when it appears on high
Even when your star is falling
Let it shine bright

Mountains DO Move. . .
      . . . One Stone at a Time

Risk None, Gain Nothing.

Luck is the mindset of success in motion.

It's how you deal with failure that determines your success.

Behind every success is a succession of failures.

When failure is perceived as a possibility, it will most likely become your reality.

You'll never stand on the mountaintop
Unless you've stood in the valley.

It's usually the last ounce of effort that tips the scales of success.

On Fear

The Greatest Wonders of the World we'll never know for they were destroyed before they were even built by the great enemy of man - Fear!

Fear is the minds great mortal sin.

Do you know more about the things you Fear than the things you desire?

Not a single person has ever accomplished anything of significance without first feeling scared to death!

Fear is a loaded gun squarely aimed to slay all your potential. You need to be on-guard every waking moment to deflect the invisible bullet.

Fear is the cancer of the human spirit.

Fear is the imaginary mountain that hides the horizon.

When has what you Feared ever become your reality?

Fear is the greatest inhibitor to the progress of mankind.

Be Fearless, and Flourish!

We must fight our fear to forge ahead
And leave the safety of the ledge.

On Courage

The greatest heroic feats in history cannot hold a candle to the courage it takes to raise one child.

There is true courage in the acts of every day living.

Courage is born of conviction.

On Family

If I die tonight in my sleep:
let me have hugged and told my children that I love them,

let me have told my mother how much she is loved and appreciated,

let me have helped a friend or better, a stranger,

let me have worked very hard these past hours in the name of my personal progress, and, let me have gone to sleep

with the knowledge that I did the very best I could do today.

On Leadership

Give a shelterless man tools and he will build a home. Inspire him, encourage him, give him vision, and he will build an empire.

The taller one walks, the bigger a target they become.

If you want to lead, first learn how to follow.

Selfishness is putting the needs of others ahead of your needs. Since when can you give your best to others when you own needs go unattended?

On Life

Life is a Gift, not a Prize.

The river bends because it had no choice but to follow the lay of the land, where the law of gravity directed it. And so, our path in life is guided by the great laws of the universe. But I ask, rivers don't run uphill, so why do we?

Life makes you walk that delicate balance between making it happen and letting it happen.

Our mission in life is to better the lives of others. In doing so, our life is made better.

There's no more nobler mission than positively impacting people in their lives.

The darkest nights bring the brightest days.

The high road often traverses the low valleys.

Our shoulders are never so narrow that we cannot carry the weight of our own world.

So long as you have one enemy in your life, you will be held hostage and can be taken prisoner.

The greater good doesn't always feel great.

You'll never go wrong doing anything for the right reason.

Loss creates a vacuum into which something greater always flows.

What you Think is what you GET.

Speaking your mind is an awfully dangerous thing to do. Choose your words carefully.

Quite often in life we get what we are looking for when we aren't looking.

Life, cruel as it may seem at times, has a way of teaching us lessons that we can either apply, or not, and those who choose to apply the lessons, win.

Inches . . .

It takes many inches to make a mile. We can only move by inches, one inch at a time.

It's when we look miles ahead and wonder "how are we going to get so far?" that we fail to move forward at all.

We can choose to live life fully focused on the the moment at hand and live happily, making great progress, moving by inches.

Or, we can keep staring "in the rear view mirror", stuck with thoughts of what could have been, instead of what can now be.

Most important, we must always keep in mind that anytime we suffer a setback while moving forward, it will always be just a matter of inches, never miles.

Giving and Happiness

Giving is the greatest way to receive.

You might be poor, and unhappy.
But become suddenly rich, and you will still be unhappy.

Isn't it ironic that the world has become such a complicated place when in fact there are so few, simple universal truths with which to simplify things?

Those who can't, of course become critics!

Anyone can dream. Few Expect.

It's easy to wage war. It's difficult to wage Peace.

Make a small difference in the life of one person and you have made a significant difference in the world.

One happy, positive thought is more powerful than the most potent weapon in the arsenal of unhappy men.

Although the cliche' has it that we "take one day at a time", sometimes we need to take life one minute at a time.

A single laugh can wipe away a lifetime's worth of suffering.

Does the satisfaction you receive from telling others how much you suffer outweigh the benefit you would receive from finding your solution?

You already know it takes many more muscles to frown than to smile. But do you know it takes much less effort to hand a homeless person a few dollars than to clench your fist and hold on to those few bucks?

On Wisdom

Wisdom is the lesson learned, applied.

You only have one head so why wear all the hats?

Every answer you seek and every solution you need is out there in the universe just waiting to be invited into your life.

We seem to seek the truth when it in fact seeks you.

On Business

Target the Heart of Your Customer, not his Wallet.

Sell a customer what they Want
Deliver what they Need.

Sell a MEG but Give a GIG.

A slave to making money is just a slave.

Acquiring wealth, for the sake of acquiring wealth
Is a lonely and unsuccessful existence.

Money is not the root of all evil. The worship of money is.
