“The people who make it to the top- whether they’re musicians or great chefs or corporate honchos- are addicted to their calling. You have to honor the gift that God has given you. The people who get the call are the ones who’d be doing whatever it is they love even if they weren’t being paid. The junkies love what they do: they revel in it. They exude not only expertise but also joie de vivre.” -Quincy Jones

“No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.” -Henry Emerson Fosdick

“On the whole, it is patience which makes the final difference between those who succeed and fail in all things. All the greatest people have it in an infinite degree and, among the less, the patient, weak ones always conquer the impatient, strong.” -John Ruskin

“It’s when you feel less thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you: perspective. Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy to positive. It’s the quickest, easiest, most powerful way to effect change in your life- this I know for sure.

Here’s the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a back seat. What shows up in it’s place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.

Maya Angelou was so right. Whatever you’re going through, you will do just that: Go through it. It will pass. So say thank you now.” -Oprah Winfrey

“The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work, and stick-to-itiveness…Unfortunately, many of life’s failures are experienced by people who didn’t realize how close they were to success when they gave up. I have more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing.” -Thomas Edison

“Sometimes we get so focused on the difficulty of our climb that we lose sight of being grateful for simply having a mountain to climb.” -Oprah Winfrey
