Key Concepts and Excerpts
Questions Shape Our Destiny
"How good do you want to be?"
"What would you be doing if you knew you couldn't fail?"
The Luck Factor: Preparation and Opportunity
Don't let your circumstances and where you're from dictate where you're going and who you will become. Don't take your toys inside just because it's raining!
Optimism is Turning Obstacles into Opportunities
We cannot act in a manner inconsistent with how we see ourselves. It's not how fast you ski – it's how fast you get back up.
Integrity and Compassion: Doing the Right Thing
More than doing it right, winners do the right thing.
The Golden Rule: Happiness Is Serving Others
As a thinking center, you are able to tap into the pure energy of creative intelligence that is similar to the information highway and is thus the Internet of your soul. Champions are lovers. They love themselves and love serving others. They bless that which they want.
Your Unique Plan: The Seed of Knowing Is Within You
With the right environment at a predetermined time the seed will sprout and grow.
What is your greatness? What action will you take? What are you waiting for?
Sharing who you really are with the word is the ultimate act of love. Listen!
You will know what song to sing.
Finding the Right Work Is Finding Your Own Soul
To do what you really love is being more of who you are: authentic and serene
Our search for meaning is our desire to feel the rapture of being more alive!
The Human Spirit: Not for Sale
For winners money is never the end goal but the means and power to advance their cause and direct all energies and resources to their desired goals and service of choice.
Peace on Earth: Creating a Compassionate Culture and Civilization
Champions learn the dance and know that success has more to do with what you do for others than what you accomplish for yourself.
Unstoppable: Your Dreams Must Be Greater Than Your Fears
As we convert the fear factor into future focus we also convert problems into possibilities. When we are truly committed, fears tend to fade as we claim our future.
Action: To Know and Not to Do Is Not to Know
We must follow our bliss and remain focused, for whatever we think about, focus on, feel, and act on, we attract. To act on what you learn is all that really matters.
Winners Stop on Top: Knowing When to Quit
To know when to quit –that is class and true wisdom.
Take Time: Reflect, Pray, Meditate, and Think
The speed at which we live and think may be causing static interference to getting in touch and connecting with our wise mind. To move ahead faster, we need to slow down.
What Is Your Legacy?
Winners never die – they leave a legacy. Their influence continues because they give it all away. They never retire – they redirect.
Bash On Regardless!
Winners dream more and think big which stirs the soul and ignites their passion to do whatever it takes. They are compelled to action. The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short. Embrace your desires and dreams and develop a system of life mastery to move forward with boldness. Success is a journey, not a goal. It is a process and not perfection. It is giving it your best shot, with love and integrity, to make a difference in the lives of others.
"The great use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it." William James
