You don't have to be great to become a person of courage. You just need to want to reach your potential and to be willing to trade what seems good in the moment for what's best for your potential. That's something you can do regardless of your level of natural talent.

Once you find that idea, start moving forward and act decisively. U.S. admiral William Halsey observed, "All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble.

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

If you live right, death is a joke to you as far as fear is concerned.

In every dream journey, there comes a moment when you have to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.

A BURNING DESIRE TO BE, AND TO DO is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.

Desire is what takes the hot water of mediocrity and turns it into the steam of outstanding success.

Never underestimate the desire to bolt.

You are a person of destiny. You are not here by accident. There is no obstacle too big, no dream you can't accomplish.

Your courage draws people out of complacency into their destiny.

NEVER let other people's opinions of you determine your destiny.
