"Lucky people will focus on what’s in front of them rather than scrabbling about for what they’re searching for."

"There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?"

"The challenge for you is to decide not what is important, but what is most important and then focus your attention on that."

"You can start to change your luck today. Begin believing that you can have what you desire and superior things will arrive."

"Nothing could be any worse than having to turn to your friends, your colleagues and your loved ones and say –‘I gave up too soon’."

"Although you can’t go back in time and alter your natural level of potential, you can determine how much of that ability you tap into, exploit and develop for the future."

"See it, feel it, trust it!"

"You have to create your self-belief by going to your core to find the probable reasons for the negativity in you, and then demolish them."

"If you are able to focus unswervingly on your goals, then all that you desire will become yours."

"The thrust of continuous action is the firewood which fuels motivation."

"If not you, who?"

"Athletes who are able to stay completely focused in pursuit of their dreams are the ones that are most likely to become champions."

"Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts."

"Look for solutions, instead of being difficult; be more thoughtful, instead of allowing anger to burn you out. Look at things from a different perspective, embrace change, look out for opportunities and you will feel much more in control."

"Do you want to know what one of the secrets to achieving all of your goals is? You’ve got to be committed."

"It is true to say that the secret of a winning formula is the ability to accept that there is a vast area of unexploited potential beyond what you currently perceive to be your maximum."

"To think is good. To obsess is bad."

"To deliver your own personal maximum, you’ll realise there are no shortcuts; if you want to be a champion it is all about rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in."

"If you have positive energy you will always attract positive outcomes."

"If you decide not to take action, you are going to fail, and even if you do take action, if you can’t keep up your motivation, you will simply end up back where you started."
