“The only one who can beat me is me.” – Michael Johnson
“It’s not the length of life, but the depth of life.”
“Just breathe. Studies show that just a few minutes a day of quiet can open our brains and make it available for our most innovative ideas.”
“When one teaches, two learn.” – Robert Half
“It is our lack of intense, disciplined activity that has allowed evil to flourish and good men to flounder. If life does not seem fair sometimes, we have no one to blame but ourselves.” – Jim Rohn
“You must put in the work, consistently. Do it when you’re motivated. Do it when you’re not. Do it when you can’t see any visible progress. Do it when it isn’t convenient.”
“Unleashing the power of gratitude takes no more than recognizing that life itself is a gift, and that every day is shaped by the mindset you bring to it.”
“Be the catalyst for someone else’s greatness. When you share what you know with another person, they could be transformed in a major way.”
“Always start with gratitude; be thankful for what you already have and see the miracles that come from this one simple act.”
“The best way to take control of your future is by planning for it. Visualize your future self doing big things, and your hunger for success will grow.”
“Commit to the unknown. You’ll never learn anything new if you do the same thing every day. You need to venture outside of your comfort zone.”
