"A little bit of fragrance always clings to the hands that gives you roses"
"Leadership is a mindset that shifts from being a victim to creating results. Any one of us can demonstrate leadership in our work and within our lives."
"Mastery in work and in life is about committing yourself to being excellent in everything you do, no matter how small and no matter if no one is watching. Do you practice excellence in your most private moments?"
"Leadership is not a title. It's a behavior. LIVE it"
"To arrive at a place called Mastery, you must commit to daily and rigorous practice. Enjoy practising your craft for its own sake without turning your attention to your ultimate destination. Understand, once and for all, that the journey is as important as the destination."
"Being an elite performer on the playing field of life is not about being perfect. Rather, it is about cultivating a mental focus towards mastery in every area of your life. It is about commiting yourself, from the core of your heart, to manifest and polish your highest talents and become the person you are destined to be."
"Start to see yourself for who you really are: a traveller, an explorer or on the path of life, confidently advancing along the path of enlightenment towards your destiny. Don't lose sight of the things that are truly vital in your life."
"If you want to put far more living in your life, start living every day as if it was your last."
"The most fully actualized people that I studied over ten years consistently pushed the envelope. These people consistently demanded far more of themselves every day than anyone else ever expected from them. These people raised their standards and committed themselves from their hearts to be the best they could be and to live a life of uncommon wonder. This is what self-mastery is all about."
"Your creativity comes from the universal source of all creation, the source of all intelligence and wisdom."
"Money is a function of value creation. The more value you create for other people, the higher the sales of your organization."
"Ask yourself this question every day: "How may I best serve the most people?""
"As a lawyer, money was my driving force. As the years passed, I accumulated more but was less happy."
"I had many of the trappings of success. I was a lawyer. I drove a nice car and I had nice things. But "things" don't make a rich life."
"Making money isn't a bad thing at all - it allows for a lot more freedom."
"I look for interesting titles that are curious and make people think. A lot of people are always so caught up in their lives. But if I make them smile through my titles or provoke them a little bit then maybe they will think about things and read the book and take something away from it."
"Clarity precedes mastery and the more clear you can get on what you want to create in life, the more focused you will be in your daily behaviors."
"I recall a friend telling me that for all the years his mother worked, every clock in her home was set 30 minutes ahead. She was never late. And she was beloved by all. Punctuality matters. Shows respect for others. And excellence within yourself. Be great today. Please."
"Every minute spent worrying about 'the way things were' is a moment stolen from creating 'the way things can be'"
