What's interesting about subscribing to a life of giving is that you become addicted.
You cannot keep determined people for success.
Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.
Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.
We fall forward to succeed.
God first, family second, career third
When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

I believe every person has the ability to achieve something important, and with that in mind I regard everyone as special.
Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.
You can go as far as your mind lets you.
