Winners are people with definite purpose in life.

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it.

If you have a strong purpose in life, you don't have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.

You are unique. You have different talents and abilities. You don’t have to always follow in the footsteps of others. And most important, you should always remind yourself that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing and have a responsibility to develop the talents you have been given. 

If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be deeply unhappy for the rest of your life. You will be evading your own capacities, your own possibilities.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. 

Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.

People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. 

Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do.

Know that nothing can hinder you but yourself. If you believe you can, you can.

Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.

Every human being has talents that are just waiting to be uncovered.

The secret to finding your passion is to bring it to everything you do.

Nothing has meaning except for the meaning you give it.

Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.

Hope is a start. But hope needs action to win victories.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.

The purpose of life is the life of purpose.

Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment.

Faith is the commitment of one's consciousness to beliefs for which one has no sensory evidence or rational proof. When man rejects reason as his standard of judgement, only one alternative standard remains to him: his feelings. A mystic is a man who treats his feelings as tools of cognition. Faith is the equation of feelings with knowledge.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

You don't need to change the world; you need to change yourself.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

You can’t control how you feel. But you can always choose how you act.

Happiness is the overall experience of pleasure and meaning.

Your passion should not come from the outside. It should come from within.

If you love your work, if you enjoy it, you're already a success.

Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.

“Passion” has its roots in the Latin word pati, which means “to suffer or endure.” Therefore, at the root of passion is suffering. This is a far cry from the way we casually toss around the word in our day-to-day conversations. Instead of asking “What would bring me enjoyment?” which is how many people think about following their passion, we should instead ask “What work am I willing to suffer for today?”. Great work requires suffering for something beyond yourself. It’s created when you bend your life around a mission and spend yourself on something you deem worthy of your best effort. What is your worthwhile cause?

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

I truly believe ... that your positive mind-set gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you *can* do something great means that you *will* do something great.

The only work really worth doing — the only work you can do convincingly — is the work that focuses on the things you care about. To not focus on those issues is to deny the constants in your life.

Have faith in yourself, but also have faith in faith. Not faith as others define it. Faith as you define it. Faith as faith defines itself in your heart.

To build a career, the right question is not “What job am I passionate about doing?” but instead “What way of working and living will nurture my passion?

As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.

Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.

Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do.

No matter what your ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.

Are you a born writer? Were you put on earth to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? In the end the question can only be answered by action. Do it or don't do it.

Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty. 

Winners are convinced they will finish first. The others hope to finish first.

It’s a lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself,” Ali said. Also, “To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.

I will proactively seek out my mission in life in these four ways: by choosing the-best-version-of-myself in each moment, by doing what I can where I am right now to help others celebrate their best selves and to make the world a better place, by exploring how my talents and passions can be put to use to serve the needs of others, and by listening to the voice of God in my life.

Happiness has more to do with where you are heading than where you are.

Great performance is in our hands far more than most of us ever suspected.

Never underestimate the vital importance of finding early in life the work that for you is play. This turns possible underachievers into happy warriors.

The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed -- it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.

The highest happiness is the feeling of wellbeing which comes to one who is actively employed in doing what he was made to do; carrying out the great life-purpose patterned in his individual bent.

Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do.

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

“Dale Carnegie said, "Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours." The Saturday Morning Test asks you to lean in to your natural passion to enrich your work and personal lives.”

To fully experience this life as a human being, we all need to connect with our desire to realize something larger than our individual selves.

I am master of my destiny, and I can make my life anything that I wish it to be.

La Rochefoucauld once said, “The most untutored person with passion is more persuasive than the most eloquent without. 

You life matters. You are here for a reason. Your job is to determine why. 

You have been given a gift—your life. What will you do with it? 

Without faith, it is impossible for you to become great.

The power which is in you, is in the things around you, and when you begin to move forward by faith, the things will arrange themselves for your advantage.

Think about it: What's the worst thing that can happen to you if you just totally go for it?

Many growth-minded people didn’t even plan to go to the top. They got there as a result of doing what they love. It’s ironic: The top is where the fixed-mindset people hunger to be, but it’s where many growth-minded people arrive as a by-product of their enthusiasm for what they do.
