The true difference between success and failure is your ability to get and keep yourself motivated:

  • Motivation means choosing to do what you’d rather not do.
  • The most depressing and de-motivating sentences in the world usually begin with the phrase “Someday, I’ll…”
  • Don’t set goals that just excite you; set goals that scare you a little bit. That way they’ll strengthen your “motivation muscle.”
  • What holds people back is fear of failure, but if you don’t take action, you’ll fail by default, so what have you got to lose?
  • You can have whatever you want in life, but nobody is going to give it to you.  Everything of value must be earned.
