Character, not circumstance, make a man.

As you lead others to success and a life of their dreams, the life you seek and deserve will be revealed unto you.

THE SEVENTH DECISION FOR SUCCESS: I will persist without exception.

You have been created in order that you might make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world.

Everybody---every single body---makes a difference! But there is a choice that determines what kinda difference you will make. Most folks don't see how important they are...how much they matter to all of us. So they never choose to do somethin' special wif their lives. And not makin' a choice? That is a choice...a lost one.

If the source were simply a few behavioral habits, you would have conquered them already.

Our tendency is to pray for miracles. But in most situations, it is more appropriate to pray for opportunities.

One gets to the place one wants to be the same way one got to the place one didn't want to be—by putting one foot in front of the other and moving in a specific direction.

It takes a habit to break a habit. You can pray every day for a generous heart, but until you start acting in that direction, nothing's going to change.

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors... What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you'd come to closed door number eight and you'd think, 'Great, I got another one out of the way'... Keep moving forward.

Regardless of whatever I do, I know what my purpose is: to make a difference in people's lives.

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.
