"When you have a sense of your own identity and a vision of where you want to go in your life, you then have the basis for reaching out to the world and going after your dreams for a better life."
"People who let events and circumstances dictate their lives are living reactively. That means that they don't act on life, they only react to it."
"To know yourself is the first and most important step in pursuing your dreams and goals."
"All your life you compare and contrast, explore and search. But knowing yourself well is, well, elusive."
"Every day, do something that is truly important in moving you toward your goals. You must choose to invest your time in the important steps. When you take charge of your time, you take charge of your life. How you spend your time reflects your priorities."
