Every minute focused on something you cannot control is life wasted. That minute of your life is wasted. Too many minutes make a life, don’t waste your life.

Knowledge gets the job. Skill gets the job done right. Knowledge helps you develop confidence. Skill helps you execute courage.

If it can be measured, it can be managed.

If you can manage it, you can control it.

If you can control it, you create your own destiny.

Measure what is important to you and find ways to improve.

For anything you want to achieve, you have to believe it can happen. That is how all miracles start, with belief followed by faith proved in action.

If you love the people you serve, there is no force, there is no manipulation, there is no coercion. There is only love.

We all can help. We are all important. We are all worthy. We can all become better people by using our talents to help others. We all can contribute.

Respect your inner voice. Respect your spirit. If you respect yourself, it is much easier to respect others. Respect is when you eliminate negative judgement for others and, especially for yourself.

The complete view – the unabridged map – the open road will never be as detailed and clear as you want it to be. That is where faith and honor and commitment come in. If you have faith in what is true, honor your worth, and commit to your dreams then you will be able to fulfill your potential.

Overcoming obstacles and challenges is more about positioning and perspective than strength. The best way to get past a mountain is to change your approach, not to dig out the mountain. Fix your approach and you will fix your life.

C0urage is the power of your mind and the depth of your inner fortitude that gives you the outer strength to act. Taking proper action when afraid without allowing room for blame is how courage is manifest.
