Denis Waitley

Expect the best; convert problems into opportunities; be dissatisfied with the status quo; focus on where you want to go, instead of where you’re coming from; and most importantly, decide to be happy, knowing it’s an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

Face up to those areas that are weak in your life and seek to make them strong.

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Denis Waitley

Focus all your attention and energy on the achievement of the objectives you are involved with right now.

Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire – you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

Denis Waitley

Give your best effort, because you are worth your best effort.

Denis Waitley

Denis Waitley

Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives.

Great individuals make great successes out of failure.
