“I’ve missed more than 9000 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.”

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.”

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.”

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win – essential to success.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.

First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

Action is the real measure of intelligence.

All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

Before success comes in any man’s life, he’s sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures.

When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That’s exactly what the majority of men do.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.

clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life

90. You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it.
You are here to create the world around you that you choose.

91. And allow the world as others choose to
see it, exist as well

92. People think that if everyone knows the power of the LOA there won’t
be enough to go around .. This is a lie that’s been ingrained in us and
makes so many greedy.

93. The truth is there is more than enough love, creative ideas, power,
joy, happiness to go around.

94. All of this abundance begins to shine
through a mind that is aware of it’s own infinite nature. There’s enough
for everyone. See it. Believe it. it will show up for you.

95. So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the
things you want.. get behind the good feelings of all your wants.

96. Write your script. When you see things you don’t want, don’t think
about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or
join groups that focus on the don’t wants… remove your attention from
don’t wants.. and place them on do wants

are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.

them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but
this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.
