Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Remember, the thoughts that you think and the statements you make regarding yourself determine your mental attitude. If you have a worthwhile objective, find the one reason why you can achieve it rather than hundreds of reasons why you can't.

How did I ever fit all of this stuff in my office? Every time I think I have it all put away, another box of stuff appears! George Carlin said the difference between stuff and junk is that if you own it, it's stuff. If someone else owns it, it is junk. Then every once in a while you discover some of your stuff has become junk so you have a garage sale and sell the junk so you will have some money top buy more stuff!

At some point you realize that life is just that: life. Ups, downs, good, bad, it's all just life. It all balances out, and letting every little bump in the road sideline you is no way to live.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Strength and courage aren't always measured in medals and victories. They are measured in the struggles they overcome. The strongest people aren't always the people who win, they are the people who don't give up when they lose.
