“For things to get better,you must get better.”
Every great success is the result of hundreds and even thousands of little efforts that no one ever sees or appreciates. The interesting fact is that the law of probabilities determines your success as much as anything else. The more that you do the things that other successful people do, over and over, the more probable it is that you will get the success that successful people enjoy. It is not a miracle. It is not luck; it is merely law, the law of probabilities. Your outer world is a mirror image of reflection of your inner world. If you want to change anything in your outer world, your health, relationships, income or success of any kind, you must first begin by changing yourself on the inside.
They say that everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. Everyone wants to be successful, but very few people want to put in the many months and years of hard work necessary to achieve it. But you cannot accomplish something on the outside that you have not prepared yourself for on the inside. That is why we say that, “to achieve something that you have never achieved before, you must become someone that you have never been before.”
- Brian Tracy, from “Little Things Matter” by W.T. Smith
“Success is not something you pursue. What you pursue eludes you. Success is something you attract by the person you become.”
- Jim Rohn
“Desire alone is not enough to break through the obstacles that lie in your path. What you pursue must be something that deep down in your inner being is very important to you.”
- Todd Smith
“Burden and weakness are given to humble us before great tasks.”

“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failures than to rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
