	There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it.

Martha Graham
	There is no one luckier than he who thinks himself so. Goethe
	To succeed as individuals, we have to think of ourselves as CEOs of our lives. Your first job as CEO should be to resolve not to let negative behavior impact your performance any longer.

Unless you are fully prepared to meet the challenges of today and the future you will meet the fate of any company that is similarly unprepared. You will fail. Denis Waitley
	Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of think he wishes to be.

	Your vision of yourself and your possibilities is a mental picture of what you will become. We must carve our own success in the same way that a sculptor chips away at a block of marble. Like the sculptor who creates a masterpiece from a mental model, we must begin our journey to success by visualizing what we want to become. The trouble with most people is that they never dare to realize their highest possibilities. They misuse their imagination by daydreaming and wishing their lives away. Think positive and clearly visualize your possibilities. Positive visualizations will help you seize the opportunity for greatness within you. Unknown

Laura Park

	We all live our lives in comfort zones, avoiding risky situations, avoiding the potential to fail. But in order to get ahead of your competition, you've got to go out of your comfort zone.

Try that little new thing, that different approach. Get out of your comfort zone and see if it works. It may, it may not, but you'll never know if you don't try. Mary Lou Retton
