To have extreme, laser-like focus, you must be willing to reject a lot of opportunities, even if they sound great.

Circumstances, events or situations do not have inherent meanings except what you give them

Time is the first currency for success and one we all hold in common.

You receive the gift of time freely and equally every day, beautifully wrapped in twenty-four new hours to invest in whatever you want, and how you use each hour decides your success or the lack of it

Find something about yourself to laugh about every day.

The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.

You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.

To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.

There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it

Success and the pursuit of it can nourish your body, but only significance has the ability to nourish your mind, body and spirit.

Master the art of finding something to celebrate about in each moment and life will become an exciting adventure

Don’t try, be happy.

You already have the abundance of life in you, and each day you must decide to live abundantly by choosing not to live in the past, by never taking counsel of your fear, and most importantly by seeing the greatness within you and embracing it.

The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.

To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.

The greatest people in history were those who lived a life of significance and service. You can join them if you’re willing to serve.

You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.

Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.

Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.

Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.

Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.

Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.

Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.

Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.

You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.

To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.

Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.

Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.

Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.

The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.

Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.

Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.

The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance

Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.

It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.

Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.

Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.

Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.

If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.

Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.

You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.

Your life is a direct reflection of your level of investment in yourself, and your success or the lack of it is often decided by your personal development level.

Commit to the lifestyle of investing in you first. It always produces the best return.

Investing in yourself is one of the foundations for better relationships, health, happiness, success, and prosperity.

You can’t excel in everything but you can be exceptional in a few things, so why not choose your life’s focus?

You will only ever achieve the level of success that matches your wisdom or personal development level.

Invest time, energy, and money into increasing your knowledge and wisdom so you can become the best you can be – it’s the best investment you could make.

Your wisdom decides your value, the size of the problems you can solve, the opportunities you create, and ultimately the level of success you experience.

To be successful choose an area of focus in life. It will identify where your energy should be invested and (more importantly) the source of your joy and success.

Progress can’t be achieved without investing in and constantly improving yourself.

Don’t ask what it will cost or how much of your time you will have to sacrifice. Instead, ask what it’s worth.

The level of success you experience externally is a reflection of your level of personal development internally.

Good mentors and coaches will help you reach your destination faster than you can by yourself.

If you wish to be and remain successful, invest a minimum of five to ten per cent of your income each month and your time each day on your personal growth and development.

Success can’t be achieved without personal development and constantly improving yourself.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that your dreams, desires or goals are more important than fear.

Acting courageously is about knowing and making the right choices based on a deep conviction that dwarfs fear, doubt, and worry.

Courage is the ability to make yourself take action in spite of your fear.

Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.

Dare to be different.

Big dreams only come true when you believe and have the courage to pursue them.

Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.

You might fear you don’t have what it takes, but you don’t need to have all the answers or everything figured right from the start.

Finding the courage to break away from other people’s opinions, and your self-limiting thoughts, could be the most significant breakthrough transformation you make on your journey to success.

You are a product of the stories you believe and accept.

Until you develop the courage to pursue that dream in your heart, you will never reach your true potential.

To become successful you have to dream big. Small dreams don’t have the magic to stir up passion and greatness within you.

Life goals hold the key to a lifetime of success.

At the end of your life you want to arrive at a well-designed destination rather than an unexpected destination, and you do this by setting life goals, not short-term, not medium, not long-term, but life goals.

Your goals should not be based on what you can do or what is possible but on what you want.

Failure is a pitfall of working without a plan.

Goals reveal your path to success, greatness and significance. Become a master goal setter and you will chart the course of your life.

Life should not be measured by duration alone but by donation also, by what you do during your lifetime.

Goals help you look towards the future with anticipation and excitement rather than with anxiety, and when clearly defined and broken into smaller steps, they enable you pay the price needed to achieve your dreams.

The greatest value in the goal process is the skills, the knowledge, the discipline, and the character you develop in pursuit of your goal.

Achieving your goal should always be of secondary importance. Your focus should be on becoming the kind of person deserving of the goal.

Be specific about what you want. Decide, define, describe, discuss and develop your plans and then act on them.

In selecting any goal you should focus on the reason – without a compelling reason your resolve will weaken.

There is a direct relationship between the number of times you attempt a task and the likelihood of success.

Effort is the foundation of all achievements and is the single greatest competitive advantage and quality you must consistently apply to achieve your dreams.

You must discipline yourself consistently to do what others do occasionally in order to have the future few will get to experience.

Talent is never enough. Effort, not talent, is the key to success.

Your rewards in life will be in proportion to the effort you apply.

Talent helps, but success is only achieved and sustained through consistent effort.

Success is not simply about intelligence and ambition. The time invested, the quality of preparation, and the effort applied are essential to excellence or mastery.

Working hard alone without being smart and consistent won’t lead to success.

Wisdom allows you to decide how best to apply yourself to get the most return on your time and energy invested.

Success isn’t entirely a numbers game, but numbers play a part.

Hard work without purpose seldom leads to success.

To be successful you must be willing to work hard, work smart, work consistently, and most importantly do all three simultaneously over a long period of time.

Goals are the result of bringing your dreams, ideas, and ideals into a real and examinable form by giving them permanence in written form.

They are probably the single most important deciding factor for long-term success, and your ability to set and make plans to achieve them is the master skill to your successful future.

Long-term goals provide focus, but inspiration comes from the accomplishment of short-term goals.

In order to be successful you must decide to be intentional about what you do, how you live, and who you are becoming.

Achieving a goal is not the most important part of the process. The destination should never be your primary purpose or objective.

Reasons are the fuel for goal achievement. Without a strong enough reason, it’s impossible to persevere.

The person you grow to become in pursuit of a goal makes the journey a memorable experience.

Acquiring knowledge is the most fruitful effort.

Focus on your work. Do what you're great at. Don't compare yourself to others and or waste time criticizing the lives and work of others. Do what matters most to you and make a difference doing that.

Mind is effort, while heart is effortless! What are YOU?

LABOUR is effort, while ART is effortless! What are you?

Putting 100% effort into "trying" will always make you successful. With that in mind it's important to remember that the effort part is never easy.

The great beauty of life is its mystery, the inability to know what course our life will take, and diligently work to transmute into our final form based upon a lifetime of constant discovery and enterprising effort. Accepting the unknown and unknowable eliminates regret.

A life premised upon honest effort and questing for love is bound to generate regret and remorse.

There are zero excuses or delays when oneself is determined to grow.

Making an effort or not making an effort is a choice we make by analyzing the outcome before making that choice. Most of the times the analysis is based on previous experiences, what we fail to understand is, that things change, perceptions change & so are the people, the only thing we don’t allow changing is our analysis.

Accept not a mediocre effort but any end result of a super effort

No matter what, make an effort to react positively to each event.

Few great things are achieved effortlessly.

Drinking caffeinated drinks including high potency energy drinks, and consuming other enablers, we do not need to develop an internal source for the energy, effort, endurance, and enthusiasm needed to confront each day.

Any effort made in the present is like an investment in the future.

Nothing of worth was ever achieved without the focused effort to pursue or create whatever was desired or needed.
