You are where you are right now because of the actions you've taken, or maybe, the inaction you've taken.
Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.
Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.
NEVER be surprised by your own success!
Don't waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success. Listen, learn, go on.
You can have it all, just not all at the same time.
Sometimes not getting what you want is a brilliant stroke of luck.
Sometimes success demands a certain refined insanity.
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal
...success is not a comparison of what we have done with what others have done.
The problem for a lot of people is that they don't really know what they want. They have vague desire: to 'do something creative' or to earn more money or 'to be free', but they can't really pin down what it is precisely that they want. So they drift from one thing to another, enjoying some moments and hating others, but never really finding fulfillment or success. (..) This is why it's hard to lead a successful life (whatever that means to you) when you don't know what you want.
Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
People can change anything they want to, and that means everything in the world.
Failure is always an option
My life changed the day I moved beyond just wishing for things and I started earning them. That is the day I learned that we don't get what we wish for, we get what we work for.
We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me.
Go as far as you can see and you will see further.
Stop allowing your day-to-day life to be clouded by busy nothingness.
Diligence is the mother of good fortune.
