You can learn great things from your mistakes when you aren’t busy denying them.
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
You don't see the world as it is, you see it according to who you are.
See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.

Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.
