Harry S. Truman said:
"In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first."
Self-discipline isn't about torturing yourself or denying yourself. It's about mastering yourself as a surgical tool you can use to acquire anything
you want. A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.
Harry S. Truman
"Every man is afraid. The more intelligent you are,the more scared you are - but it is the brave man who carries on despite those fears ..."

"The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself."
"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."
"There is no security on this earth; there is only
opportunity."
Mahatma Gandhi
It takes courage to be the author of your life. When you are struggling through one of the difficult parts of turning your dreams into reality, you may wonder why you always get stuck with having to put up with so much fear and uncertainty. Why, you wonder, couldn't I feel more courageous, like those other people do? You don't feel courageous because courage is not an emotion. There is no such thing as feeling "courageous". It is an imaginary emotion. Courage consists of doing what you said you would do even when you don't want to. In the face of danger you have a choice to be the delegate of either your commitments or your feelings. It's as simple and as difficult as that.
Nicholas Lore, "The Pathfinder"
“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst a spark that creates extraordinary results.”

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
Vince Lombardi
The comfort zone takes our greatest aspirations and turns them into excuses for not bothering to aspire.
Peter McWilliams
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
Frank Lloyd Wright
What ever the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve.

If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength..
John Ruskin
Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Lou Holtz
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
Marianne Williamson
Whether a person occupies the position of employer or employee, the space he occupies in the world is measured precisely by the quality and the quantity of the service he renders, plus the mental attitude in which he relates himself to other people.”
Andrew Carnegie
What every man needs, regardless of his objective or the kind of work he is doing, is a vision of what his place is and may be. He needs an objective and a purpose. He needs a feeling and a belief that he has some worthwhile thing to do. What this is no one can tell him. It must be his own creation. Its success will be measured by the nature of his vision, what he has done to equip himself, and how well he has performed along the line of its development.
