Each time we make a choice we are either moving toward freedom and prosperity or bondage and misery.

Living off others is a form of bondage--for if you take from a person his responsibility to care for himself, you also take from him the opportunity to be free.

Life is not a competition with others. Life is a competition with yourself--to do your personal best each day.

So often we look for a magic secret or new technique that will produce tremendous returns and results with little or no work. Those seeking this magic secret will never find it--for the secret to success is to continually live and apply basic, simple fundamentals over a long period of time.

Happiness is a choice. Happiness does not depend on outward conditions but on inward decisions.

You can write and visualize goals all you want, but if you do not take action, your goals will never become a reality. To obtain a goal you have never before achieved will require tasks you have never before done.
