There's no way you can hit the ball if you're thinking about all the ways to miss it.
Focus on your goal.
-Fortune Cookie
The assistance I need is on its way.
The right people are going to show up.
All things are possible when I decide to have faith.
I banish all doubt.
The next right decision ... what is it?
I see every challenge as an opportunity. So no shortage of opportunities here. ... Get clarity. Don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed. Don't be defeated by mistakes. Learn from them. The next right decision ... what is it?
Surrender. God can dream a bigger dream for you. ... Give it up to that thing that is greater than yourself, and let it then become a part of the flow.
The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
-Oprah
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
-Oprah
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
In the end, it's about what you want to be, not what you want to have.
[What you have is the result of who you are. Who you are is what you think about.]
Follow your bliss.
-Joseph Campbell
Trust yourself and trust in God. There isn't anything that is greater than us when we are aligned with who we really are.
Authentic power is when we are aligned with God. When our person is aligned with our soul.
If we can just know that the thought that feels a little better is a step in the right direction, and the next thought that feels a little better is the next step in the right direction ... you're getting warmer, you're getting warmer ... that's how you know -- it feels better ... to move toward who you have become feels better, to widen that gap always feels worse.
Imagine yourself in a boat in the river. Most people deliberately turns the boat upstream and begin paddling very hard. Why don't you just turn and go with the flow? That just seams lazy. What we need to understand is everything we want is downstream.
There is a current to everybody's life. There's a flow in your own life. If you're struggling, you're moving upstream. Turn around, find the flow.
You don't even have to turn the boat and paddle downstream. Just let go of the oars, the current will curry you.
Remembering your spirit - introduce yourself to your best/higher part. Everyday for 5 minutes, spend some quiet moment. Look at your life differently. Who you are is so beautiful, spend some time with yourself. Let it evolve to its higher self.
Having joy is the ultimate success. What you should be asking is to have joy in all the things that you already have and all the things that you already do -- to do those things deliberately with joy.
Victory comes to those that surrender to God.
Believe it, and it becomes.
Everything I need, I have.
I am here to serve others.
I always quit on a project because it is similar to someone's project. In grad school, NICE was similar to the Alice project in CMU and Silas the dog in MIT. They are similar but different. They are different because of you.
Programming gets in the way of finishing a project. Programming should be a means, not an end.
Your ego will take you out
I would say the biggest failures I've had were at a time when I believed my own hype.
Trust your instincts
I genuinely believe that if I like something, other people are going to like it as well.
Be Patient, Have Fun
It will normally happen over time. And it's the getting there which has been the most fun. You've got to be patient and enjoy, as I said before, the process of getting there. Because I promise you, it's a lot more fun than being there.
Live your life with passion
Figure out your calling and get about the business of doing it. Every time we see a person who is a success in their life, they spoke of the juice that they receive from doing what they knew they were meant to be doing. Your calling lights you up and it lets you know that you are exactly where you're supposed to be, doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing. To live from the heart of yourself. You have to know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world.
[On Competition] ... Run your own race ... The way you step up your game is not to worry about the other guy in any situation, because you can't control the other guy. You only have control over yourself ... The energy that it takes to look back and see where the other guys are takes energy away from you ...
Surrender ... God can dream a bigger dream for me, for you, than you could ever dream for yourself ... let it become part of the flow.
Stay true to yourself, no matter what ... Become more of who you really are ... Intention is everything ... Be responsible for the energy you put out ... What is the gift you were meant to give? ... Words have a life of their own ... Be who you want to be.
Go for excellence ... Run your own race ... You are the master of your fate ... Bring your best ... Beyond "hot" ... What you put out in the world, you get back.
Failure is just an experience ... Be grateful ... You become what you believe ... Connect yourself with God and anything is possible ... Hold the highest vision possible for your life and it can come true.
[On Hardwork] How Jose Bautista went from baseball vagabond to the game's best slugger ... Bautista reads books on exceptionality ... He drew inspiration from some of his favorite hitters and spent hours studying their swings ... My success is based on hard work, dedication and perserverance.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
-Lao Tzu
What's going on in the inside shows on the outside.
All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord.
The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.
We can let our circumstances rule us, or we can take charge & rule our lives from within.
People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be whether they will admit that or not.

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
We will receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.
Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.
Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.
-Earl Nightingale
The current year will bring you much happiness.
You will take a chance in the near future, and win.
A pleasant surprise is in store for you soon.
You will find your solution where you least expect it.
-Fortune Cookie
People who have great lives talk more about what they love. By doing so, they gain unlimited access to all the good in life, and they are as free as the birds that soar in the sky. To have a great life, break the bars of the cage that is jailing you; give love, talk only about what you love, and love will set you free!
-The Power
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.
-Chinese Proverb
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
-Joseph Campbell
Words have power.
Quotes are magic spells.
Quotes are magic spells.
That's why songs captivates and affects us. Words become thoughts. Thoughts become our vibrations.
Money is a means not an end.
Success is a reflection of what's inside.
The way you think creates your reality.
The way you think creates your reality.
Notice it is the way you think, not what you think. If you are grateful in life, you'll receive more blessings. The more you give, the more you receive.
What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what. This is my creed.
-Oprah
What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.

Follow your feelings. If it feels right, move forward. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.
Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.
Jim Rohn
Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
-Jim Rohn
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

What you think, you become.
-Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
-Buddha
Believe that you'll have the house, car, relationship and job that you dream of. Believe and be Thankful! :)
Money is a means not an end. Focus on the what you want to use the money for: house, car, giving to others, etc.
The more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come ... and the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.
Persistence

There is no one giant step that does it. It's a lot of little steps.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Thousands of people have talent. I might as well congratulate you for having eyes in your head. The one and only thing that counts is: Do you have staying power?
-Noel Coward
Work is more fun than fun.
-Noel Coward
Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.
-Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
Persistence can be cultivated. Persistence is based on Purpose, Desire, Self-Reliance, Plan, Knowledge, Cooperation, Willpower and Habit.

Purpose - knowing what you want is the most important step in the development of persistence. A strong motive forces you to surmount many difficulties.

Desire - it is easy to acquire and maintain persistence when pursuing your desire.
