“You can have everything you want in life if you’ll just help enough other people get what they want.”

Motivation is temporary, but so is bathing. If you do both, you’ll live longer and smell better.

Realize that you are unique, of the over 6 billion people on this planet, no one is exactly like you.

Realize that you are here for a reason and that success is measured in relation to where you are to where you began and not where someone else is.

It’s about how strong you can be mentally that will get you through obstacles and hard times.

Get pass your past. Circumstances happen to everyone, stop making excuses and start taking charge of your life.
