Don’t settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.

Never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart.

If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.

I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Till your good is better and your better is best.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let go.

You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.

I’m not going to continue knocking that old door that doesn’t open for me. I’m going to create my own door and walk through that.

Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes―understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

The hard days are what make you stronger.

If you believe it’ll work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you don’t believe it’ll work out, you’ll see obstacles.

Work hard in silence, let your success be the noise.

Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

You can cry, scream, and bang your head in frustration but keep pushing forward. It’s worth it.

Opportunities don’t happen. You create them.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Life is not what you alone make it. Life is the input of everyone who touched your life and every experience that entered it. We are all part of one another.

If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.

Today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you want.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Our lives are stories in which we write, direct and star in the leading role. Some chapters are happy while others bring lessons to learn, but we always have the power to be the heroes of our own adventures.

The moral of my story is the sun always comes out after the storm. Being optimistic and surrounding yourself with positive loving people is for me, living life on the sunny side of the street.

I’ve noticed when I fear something, if I just end up doing it, I’m grateful in the end.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

The simple act of listening to someone and making them feel as if they have truly been heard is a most treasured gift.

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.

Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.

Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes.

Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals.
If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

Do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future. There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.

Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.
