Learn from the past, but don__ live in the past.

At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey.

Success isn't something you have, it's something you do. Don't be fooled into taking shortcuts, they always lead to a dead-end. Instead, establish a goal, make a plan, and take purposeful action. Those who experience success are those who live it; those who earn it.

TAKE ACTION! Wanting is not enough; Act upon your goals! If somebody was watching your day-to-day behavior, would they be able to see what you__e working towards; what your goals are? If the answer is no, FIX IT!

Cemeteries are full of unfulfilled dreams... countless echoes of 'could have' and 'should have'_ countless books unwritten_ countless songs unsung... I want to live my life in such a way that when my body is laid to rest, it will be a well needed rest from a life well lived, a song well sung, a book well written, opportunities well explored, and a love well expressed.

Your dreams are a poetic reflection of your soul's wishes. Be courageous enough to follow them.

Like a gift, beautifully wrapped at the foot of your bed each morning, today asks that you open it and enjoy everything inside. Exhaust yourself with all it has to offer!

We__e a society that creates super heroes who aren__ really super heroes. They are just regular people who live in alignment with their goals and dreams. They don__ just talk about it, the LIVE it. You can choose to do the same.

Your life is a reflection of how effectively you balance potential and kinetic energy.

Be creative and daring in your dreams and the steps you take to bring them to fruition.

Every step towards your dream today is a step away from your regret tomorrow.

No more excuses or procrastination! Stop allowing your days to be stolen by busy nothingness and take calculated steps towards your goals.

The journey of success requires a map for effective navigation. Establish a destination by defining what you want. Once you have a destination, take physical action by making choices that move you towards that destination.

It__ called an __ccomplishment_, not an __ntent-ishment_. You__e got to BE it to SEE it. NO MORE EXCUSES - Decide what you want, create a plan, and get your ass out there!

Your actions must reflect your goals in order to experience true success. Don't just wish, DO! Don't just dream, BE! Let today be the day you create a plan and follow it.

Don__ let the agony, regret, or fog of yesterday blind you to the fact that each new day carries with it a plethora of opportunities to move your life into the right direction.

Nobody ever talks about the pyramids that weren't built, the books that weren't written, the songs that weren't sung. Stop letting your fear condemn you to mediocrity. Get out of your own way. Your dreams are a poetic reflection of your soul's wishes. Be courageous enough to follow them. There is no greater time than now to experience the full power of your potential. Make this the day you take the first step in the beautiful journey of bringing your dreams to life.

Excuses are a time thief. Have a goal, accept responsibility, and take action!
