Success does come from what you do occasionally. I comes from what you do consistently

Look in the mirror, that's your competition

The 1st step to getting what you want is having the courage to get rid of what you don't want

Two things you can control, Attitude & Effort

What you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do

Don't talk, act. Don't say, show. Don't promise, prove

There are some people that always seem angry & continuously look for conflict. Walk away; the battle they are fighting is not with you, it is within themselves

Compliment people, magnify their strengths, not their weaknesses

I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm just doing me. Motivate me, support me or get out of my way

The sign of a beauty of a beautiful person is that they always see the beauty in others

Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen

It all begins & ends in your mind, what you give power too, it has power over you...if you allow it

Train your mind to see the good in everything

Confidence is not will they like me, confidence is, I'll be fine if they don't 

The best way to win an argument is to ask questions. It makes people see the flaws in their logic

The harder you work for something, the greater you will feel & the more you will appreciate it when you achieve it 

SUCCESS, depends on the second letter

You don't want to look back & know you could have done better

Your body can stand almost anything, it's you mind you have to convince

Actions always prove words mean nothing

You didn't come this far to only come this far

Be stubborn about your goals & flexible about your methods

Stay low key, not everyone needs to know everything about you

If they miss you, they'll call. If they want you, they'll say it. If they care, they'll show it. And if not, They Are Not Worth YOUR Time

Before you speak, let your words pass through 3 gates; 1. Is it true?  2.  Is it necessary?  3.  Is it kind?

Our reaction to a situation, literally has the power to change the situation itself

A person's mind is so powerful, we can invent, create, experience & destroy things with thoughts alone

It sucks when you know that you need to let go, but you can't, because you're still waiting for the impossible to happen

Set a goal that makes you jump of bed every morning

The less you respond to negative people, the more peaceful you life will become

If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results

Of course it's hard, it's supposed to be hard, if it was easy, everyone would do it., hard is what makes it great

I may not be perfect but, watch me improve

You don't have to be perfect to be amazing

Just because you aren't where they are, doesn't mean you don't have what it takes

Become somebody that nobody thought thought you could be

Always remember the 3 kinds of people in your life   1. Those who helped you in difficult times  2. Those who left you in difficult times  3. Those who put you in difficult times

A year from now will you wish you had started today?

My name is consistency, I am related to success, we should hang out together more than....every once in awhile

Pay attention how people act when you are not on good terms, true colours will always revel themselves

You have to learn the rules of the game & then play better than everyone else  Albert Einstein 

Never stop doing your best just because someone doesn't give you credit

You don't get what you wish for, you get what you work for

Live the way you want to be remembered

Follow your dreams even if it means standing alone

Your desire to change, must be greater than your desire to stay the same

You earn your trophies at practice, you just pick them up at competitions

The best project you'll ever work on is you

Instead of saying "I don't have time" say "it's not a priority" & see how that feels

It's a slow process but, quitting won't speed it up

A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves you hundreds of moments of regret

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Bob Marley

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it, time will pass anyway.  Earl Nightingale

The reason most people resist change is they focus on what they have to give up instead of what they have to gain

Sometimes the best way to get someone's attention is to stop giving them yours

Be stronger than your excuses

Surround yourself with only with people that are going to lift you higher

Set goals that scare you and excite you at the same time

Every failure is a lesson, if you are not prepared to fail, you are not ready to succeed

Dead last is better than did not finish, which trumps, did not start

You can never expect to succeed if you only put in work on the days you feel like it

The secret of success is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old but on building the new

Ask yourself, is what you're doing today, getting you closer to what you want to be tomorrow
