If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

I now tried a new hypothesis: It was possible that I was more in charge of my happiness than I was allowing myself to be.

You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

If you believe it’ll work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you don’t believe it’ll work out, you’ll see obstacles.

The hard days are what make you stronger.

Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever.

If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can’t hear them anymore.

I wake up every morning and think to myself, ‘how far can I push this company in the next 24 hours.

It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.

Only the paranoid survive.

Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

It makes a big difference in your life when you stay positive.

Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive good things and good people will be drawn to you.

Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

It always seems impossible until it is done.

You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Winning doesn’t always mean being first. Winning means you’re doing better than you’ve done before.
