Quotes:

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable.

Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.Denis Waitley

There is never enough time  Unless you  are serving it. Malcom Forbes

The human mind is a form of energy. When two or more minds cooperate in harmony,

They form a great bank of energy, plus a third , invisible force

which can be likened to a Master Mind   Napoleon Hill

The coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony,

between two or more people for the attainment of a definite purpose.

Napoleon Hill Think & Grow Rich

Wealth is the ability to wake up each morning with the time, health, wisdom, friends, financial freedom and passion to do whatever you want that day!

Larry Kendall, CEO The Group

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?   Mary Oliver

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. Jack London (1876 - 1916), Jack London's Tales of Adventure

People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness.  John Wanamaker
