I often look at my life and ask, “Well, here’s what I want, but am I willing to become the kind of person it will take?” If I’m too lazy, if I’m not willing to learn, read, study, and grow to become what I must become,then I cannot expect to attract what I want. Now, when faced with a choice, I must decide to either change myself or change my wants.

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Those who will not read are no better off than those who can't read

If you make money your love and you pursue affluence to the exclusion of or at the expense of other values, you have lost, not won.

To have more than you’ve got, become more than you are.

Don’t let your mouth overload your back.” Being too eager to please can be dangerous. You need to appreciate yourself, your time, your limits. Know when your commitment to someone else will end up taking time away from yourself and your family. Appreciate your special time alone. And appreciate your time with those you love and those who love you.

Taking the time to sit down and write out your goals for the present, the near future and the more remote future is a necessary part of transforming your life.

What's simple to do is also simple not to do.

IT’S HARD TO KEEP THAT WHICH HAS NOT BEEN OBTAINED THROUGH PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

If you're going to the ocean at least take a bucket.

Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

Ignorance
is not bliss. Ignorance is tragedy. Ignorance is
devastation. Ignorance creates lack. Ignorance
creates disease. Ignorance will shorten your life.
Ignorance will empty your life and leave you with
the husks, nothing to account for. No, ignorance is
not bliss.
Here’s another note to make: What you don’t know
will hurt you. What you don’t know will tragically
affect your life. What you don’t know will leave
your life empty. What you don’t know will leave
you without a relationship. We’re all affected by
knowledge, whether we know or whether we don’t
know. That’s why you’ve got to read the books.

Remember, success is not a set of standards from our culture but rather a collection of personal values clearly defined and ultimately achieved.

If you’re around people who spend all they make, chances are excellent that you’ll spend all you make.

A lot of people don’t do well simply because they major in minor things.
