Joel Osteen: "You can’t play it safe your whole life and expect to reach your highest potential. You’ve got to be willing to take some risk."

All successful men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

We cannot predict when we'll go. But if death does find you... let it find you conquering new mountains or pursuing your dreams and passions; not playing it safe hiding in a cave or under your safety blanket.

Past is experience, present is experiment, future is expectation. Use your experience in your experiments to achieve your expectations.

In life you'll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, and some will teach you. But most importantly... some will bring out the best in you.

The memories from the past are great...but the dreams of the future are better.

To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
