I don't dream at night, I dream all day; I dream for a living.

Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.

I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

Statistics suggest that when customers complain, business owners and managers ought to get excited about it. The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business.

I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got.

Small business isn't for the faint of heart. It's for the brave, the patient, and the persistent. It's for the overcomer.

Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.

What do you need to start a business? Three simple things: Know your product better than anyone. Know your customer, and have a burning desire to succeed.

When I'm old and dying, I plan to look back on my life and say, 'Wow, that was an adventure,' not, 'Wow, I sure felt safe.

The only thing worse than starting something and failing ... is not starting something.

Don't try to be original, just try to be good.

Embrace what you don't know, especially in the beginning, because what you don't know can become your greatest asset. It ensures that you will absolutely be doing things different from everybody else.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Chase the vision, not the money. The money will end up following you.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.

When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you are generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes, your best investments are the ones you don't make.

Never be ashamed! There's some who will hold it against you, but they are not worth bothering with.

Get mocked at for as much as you can, fail as much as you can, but don't quit. Let every mockery, every failure, be a source of inspiration for you to reach for greatness, and that greatness will silence your critics.

This a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before.

In life, one has a choice to take one of two paths: to wait for some special day--or to celebrate each special day.

Keep your eyes open and try to catch people in your company doing something right, then praise them for it.

Gratitude is more of a compliment to yourself than someone else.

They both seemed to understand that describing it was beyond their powers, the gratitude that spreads through your body when a burden gets lifted, and the sense of homecoming that follows, when you suddenly remember what it feels like to be yourself.

Gratitude and attitude are not challenges; they are choices.

Gratitude also opens your eyes to the limitless potential of the universe, while dissatisfaction closes your eyes to it.

I truly believe we can either see the connections, celebrate them, and express gratitude for our blessings, or we can see life as a string of coincidences that have no meaning or connection. For me, I'm going to believe in miracles, celebrate life, rejoice in the views of eternity, and hope my choices will create a positive ripple effect in the lives of others. This is my choice.

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.

In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.

We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.

Forget yesterday--it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow--you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift--today.

Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.

No one who achieves success does so without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.

Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.

One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.

Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.

At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.

Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy.

The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

It is only normal that people count losses with their minds, and ignore to count blessings with the graciousness of their hearts.
