The cost of inaction is usually much higher than the cost of making a wrong choice.

The most important skill in life isn’t predicting the future. It’s adapting to the one you didn’t expect.

The love you give is the love you get. The respect you demand is the respect you receive. What you tolerate is what continues.

A relationship that requires you to shrink yourself to fit inside it is the same relationship that will suffocate you if you stay in it too long.

Readiness is not a feeling. It's a decision. The voice in your head that says you're not ready is not protecting you. It's just stopping you from finding out what you're actually capable of.

Happiness isn’t having what you want. It’s wanting what you have.

People don’t fear the truth. They fear what the truth will demand of them.

Most people don’t want success. They want to feel successful. And those are not the same thing.

Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.

The hardest part of change isn’t choosing the new; it’s letting go of and mourning the old.

Momentum grows faster than motivation. Amateurs get ready; professionals get started.

Every ‘I’ll do it later’ is a silent agreement to make things harder for yourself.

Eventually you’ll realize that it’s better to be disliked for who you are than liked for who you are not. Then everything will change.
