My favorite prayer is thank you. Most people are asking for things and not doing their part.
-
The only people without problems are those in cemeteries. It is not what happens to us that separates failures from successes. It is how we perceive and what we do about what happens that makes the difference.
-
Problems are the gifts that make us dig out and figure out who we are, what we're made for, and what we're responsible to give back to life.

Remember anything you want that's valuable requires you to break through short-term pain in order to gain long-term pleasure.
-
If you tell yourself a lie long enough, you'll start to believe it.

People think I'm into positive thinking. I'm not a positive thinking guy. I'm into the truth. I'm a hunter of human excellence.

Who you spend time with is who you become.

Don't expect people to abide by your rules if you don't clearly communicate what they are. And don't expect them to live by your rules if you're not willing to compromise and live by at least some of theirs.

Each day that we live, we're taking in new information, ideas, concepts, experiences, and sensations. We need to consciously stand guard at the doors of our minds to make sure that whatever we're allowing to enter will cause our lives to be enriched, that the experiences we pursue will add to our stockpile of possibility.

I used to be, like, "Sleep when I die."

What we link to pleasure and what we link to pain determines our destiny.

You can't wait for the perfect situation. Find something you love. People you love. And get out there and you'll discover it.

Activity without purpose is the drain of your life

Remember: Rewards come in action, not in discussion.

It`s not our conditions, but our decisions that shape our lives. I truly believe that it`s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. So choose carefully what things mean, and what to do about them. With conscious focus, a connection with our loving nature, and a desire to serve, we truly can experience heaven while still here on earth.

If you want to change your life you have to raise your standards.

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

Ultimately, no man or woman is happy unless they have found a way to contribute beyond themselves.

Whatever you focus on is what you get.
-
If you don't make a conscious effort to control your focus-and decide in advance which things you're going to focus on-you'll be so pulled by the demands of the world that you will soon find yourself living in reaction rather than living a life plan you've designed for yourself.

People will go into a relationship, if it's a brand new relationship, it's so exciting because it's something brand new, it's variety, it's different. And you're so excited by the feelings. And what most people try to do because they don't want to lose that, they try to control it to make it certain. And if they make it so certain then you become bored in the relationship. It's a delicate balance.

Throughout human history, our greatest leaders and thinkers have used the power of words to transform our emotions, to enlist us in their causes, and to shape the course of destiny. Words can not only create emotions, they create actions. And from our actions flow the results of our lives.

'Why me?' rarely produces a positive result, while 'How can I use this?' usually leads us in the direction of turning our difficulties into a driving force to make ourselves and the world better.

As simplistic as this may sound, commitment is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
