All of the top achievers I know are lifelong learners… Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing… not moving toward excellence.

Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.

Happiness, wealth, and success are the byproducts of goal setting; they cannot be the goals themselves.
Denis Waitley
Happy people plan actions, they don’t plan results.

A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

Expect to succeed even before you start. All winners, no matter what their game, start with the expectations that they are going to succeed. Winners say, “I want to do this and I CAN do this”, not “I would like to do this, but I don’t think I can”.

The real risk is doing nothing.

It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you are not.

The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we’ve already achieved them.

One characteristic of winners is they always look upon themselves as a do it yourself project.

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Denis Watley
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Denis Watley
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.
Denis Watley
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
Denis Watley
The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
Denis Watley
Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.
Denis Watley
Luck happens when oppurtunity encounters the prepared mind.
