2 WEEK ONE Always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of somebody else Judy Garland

3 WEEK TWO Your time is limited; don t waste it living someone else s life. Don t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people s thinking. Don t let the noise of other s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you want to become. Everything else is secondary. Steve Jobs

4 WEEK THREE Light tomorrow with today! Elizabeth Barrett Browning

5 WEEK FOUR The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams Eleanor Roosevelt

6 WEEK FIVE All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES. NIKE Ad

13 WEEK TWELVE Don t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obtacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now.

14 WEEK THIRTEEN Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. Mother Teresa

15 WEEK FOURTEEN Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that. Norman Vincent Peale

18 WEEK SEVENTEEN I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve.

As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret. Anthony Robbins
