“The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.”

“There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.”

“So, the bottom line is: if you want to live well and die well, you first have to find out what is really important to you and stick to it. With that, you can get out there and get yourself a life, a real one.”

“To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.”

“The saddest day of your life isn't when you decide to sell out. The saddest day of your life is when you decide to sell out and nobody wants to buy.”

“If you intend to change, decide what you want and live your life accordingly.”

“Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it instead of figuring out what to do without it.”

“First you find out what you have, Dad would say. Then you figure out how to make it work for what you need, 'cause you don't get what you want. You get just what you have and no more.”

“What you want is achieved by deciding that you can get it: where you focus your attention, attraction flows.”

“It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you cannot get.”
