I often look at my life and ask, “Well, here’s what I want, but am I willing to become the kind of person it will take?” If I’m too lazy, if I’m not willing to learn, read, study, and grow to become what I must become,then I cannot expect to attract what I want. Now, when faced with a choice, I must decide to either change myself or change my wants.

ALL LEADERS ARE READERS.

The promise of the future is not free. There is a price to be paid for any future reward. The price the future exacts from us involves <b>discipline</b>, <b>labor</b>, <b>consistency</b> and a burning desire to make the future better than either the past or the present. Those are the price tags of progress, but the price gets easy when the promise becomes clear. <b>When the end becomes attractive, we become keenly interested in the means.</b> We must see and want the promise with an insatiable desire, or the price it requires will overcome our wishes, and we will fall back to where we once were.
