For those about to rock...

I am the star and director of my own life, not a member of the crew, supporting cast, or an extra.

I understand that the only way to live the life I want is to live the life I want.

Passion fuels me but it doesn't rule me.

Reason cools me and it never fools me.

Action makes things happen for me. I have neither time nor patience for idle dreams.

The only failure is the failure to try.

Opportunities do not "present themselves" -- they are manifest.

Fear is seldom useful, and even then only when wrapped in courage.

A moment spent dwelling on the past is, generally, a moment wasted.

I take responsibility for my mistakes but do not beat myself up over them.

I take credit for my success but do not puff myself up over it.

I get where I'm going by putting one foot in front of the other, just like everybody else. It's up to me how I move my feet.

If something gets in my way, I either smash it, climb it, or go around it -- I never let it stop me.

I love those who love me and pity those who hate me.

I am happy to lift others up, but if they drag me down, I drop them like so much ballast.

Nobody and nothing of consequence can stand between me and my goals.

Everybody that matters is already in my corner coaching me or in the stands rooting for me, but it's up to me alone to win this fight.

I won't go down swinging because I won't go down. I am the heavyweight champion of my world.

I live my life like it's the only life I've got.

That's not the only way, but it's the only way for me.
