You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

Anyway - Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

"Never take counsel of your fears" --Andrew Jackson

Mastery is a result of practicing over time to correct unwanted behaviors and establish positive new ones.

Learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

We are dishonest when we tell something that isn't true, give an illusion of what's not so, not telling what is so, pretending to know.

Say what you mean, mean what you say. You can tell the truth and still not be honest.

Leaders do not get distracted from their purpose.

Distractions are killer rabbits. They seem harmless, but they kill your goals as sure as anything else.

Are rabbits dangerous? A farmer went to town in his wagon and had his dog running alongside. Every few hundred yards the dog would take off chasing a rabbit into the woods. Then, a few minutes later, he'd join back up with the wagon.

Over and over this happened. When the farmer finished the six-mile trip in to town, one storekeeper looked at the dog that was panting heavily, staggering, barely able to walk and commented that must have been a really long, hard trip. "Look," he said. "It darn near killed your dog."

The farmer replied, "It wasn't the trip that almost killed my dog. It was the rabbits."

Think about that. Have you been having a hard time with your business? What rabbits have you been chasing?

Perhaps you allowed an unexpected phone call to take you on a side-trip that wasted 10 minutes, and got you no further progress toward your main goal for the day. Perhaps you got hung up doing paperwork that really didn't benefit the bottom line.

Many people think they work hard because they have lots of activities, but very few of them really are those key activities that generate revenue.

Anyone's past is only a measure of the belief systems that have made their decisions, NOT their true capabilities. -- klemmer.com

Many people use their past as the reputation or the expectation they go by. This is being victim to the past.

We live up or down to the reputation we are given.

"One must be a god to be able to tell success from failures without making a mistake" --Anton Chekhov

So many people have such a huge attachment to failure they are avoiding failure rather than pursuing success.

To increase your success, increase the size of your failures.

If you know why you are doing everything, then you can change "what" you are doing in a new circumstance to fulfill the "why." - klemmer.com

It is more important to know the "why" than the "how." He who knows why will always employ he who knows how.

"When you are doing your best work it will seem effortless." --Bill Diffenderfer

Be relaxed and focused at the same time. Focusing is a fundamental skill and is required to become a master of anything.

Leaders set up people and systems to insure accountability actually takes place.

Choice of attention - to pay attention to this and ignore that - is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer.

In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be.

Leaders hold themselves and others accountable without being judgmental

When you are out of your comfort zone going for a goal and are scared, go faster, not slower. Your capability is never the question. Your commitment is.

Leaders do not solve other people's problems. They support other people in solving their own problems.
