Quotes

  • Either write something worth reading or live a life worth writing about.
  • Once you set your goals, begin to move the pebble forward. Every day - whether a mile, a foot, an inch, or even as miniscule as a molecule, keep moving it forward. Don't think about it, try to do it, struggle with doing it or spend years in preparation. Actively move forward, begin immediately. Create passion in motion and you will soon look back and be astounded by just how far you have come.
  • Make a goal of what you want. Educate yourself about what it takes to achieve it. Decide if you are willing to sacrifice what is required to reach that goal. Make your wish public. Take actions towards achieving your goal. Be happy when you reach it. Repeat.
  • Advice for entertainers: Some entertainers take the role of the shy kid and make sure that everything is as pretty as a picture before they go to the ball... and once there, they stand coyly by the wall waiting for someone else to ask them to dance. I have found that successful entertainers take the dashing lead role, risk rejection and stir up their courage to boldly ask others to join them.
