There is a greater perspective of hardship in the lives of those you help when you are in the trenches with them, and not soaring over them with lofty ideals.

When you dream, dream big. Believe in your dreams, and surround yourself with those who are most capable in helping you realize your dreams.

The greater your dedication is in the preparation for the things you want most in life, the greater the possibility that what you want most in life will come to pass.

Never settle for mediocrity lest it become your tomb while you yet live.

To the extent that we are intent on helping others in and around our lives, if we do not take action on our intentions, there is no outward evidence that we are any more genuine in character than someone steeped in narcissistic behavior where their life is the only life that matters.

There is something about hanging around people who are in pursuit of excellence, and those who are constantly attaining success in their lives. It rubs off on you if you hang around them long enough.
