“Decide today to make your future brighter than your past. Become still and think about what you want to have more of in your life, or what you value most in your life right now. Commit yourself to making this a huge priority. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. Create positive stories in your life every single day. For the next seven days, do not listen to or talk about anything negative that happened to you, or someone else in the past. Allow yourself to bring light where there is darkness; speak peace where there is anger, and infuse love where there is indifference. Create something today that you will be proud of in the future. You have GREATNESS within you!” —Les Brown

It Doesn’t Matter
“It doesn’t matter that some people are laughing behind your back, glad to see you fail, smiling in your face, while pretending to be your friend. You are not your mistakes, your failures, or your disappointments. Beware, things will happen that you are not prepared for. Regroup, go back to the drawing board and come back with a different strategy. Every day you have the opportunity to relaunch, revive, and to reinvigorate your dream. You are more powerful than you realize! Dig in, challenge yourself, and hold the vision. You have GREATNESS within you!” —Les Brown
Avoid Head Trash
Avoid head trash. Don’t be a garbage can for anything that does not feed your intellect, stimulate your imagination, or make you a more compassionate, peaceful person. Refuse to open your mind to other people’s trash. Tune out anything that promotes conflict. This can infect you with a mind virus of cynicism or defeat and you won’t even know it! Be deliberate about setting up your day to win. Whatever you feed your mind in the first 30 minutes of the day will impact the spirit of your day. Saturate yourself with positive words that fuel your energy and ignite your spirit. Your thoughts create your reality. Create an extraordinary life! You have GREATNESS within you! —Les Brown
It’s Time
“It’s time to believe in yourself. You have enough critics. You have the ability to do more than you ever thought you could do. Don’t let your past define you. The past is not a place you can point to on a map. It exists only in your mind. Why do you continually seek to return to a place that simply doesn’t exist? Your task is to remain focused forward toward the future and to stay rooted in the present. Because, the present is where you will make your impact and change lives. You redefine your future when you redesign your present. As you look at your life, consider your goals and what you are doing on a daily basis to bring them to fruition. Are you on track? You must continually monitor your progress and course correct as early as you can in order to be successful. Above all, be coachable. Figure out what you want to do, find someone who has already done it and hire them to assist you. Hire them so you can save yourself time and costly mistakes. You see, there is no secret to success. There is a system to success. Once you tap into that system, you are golden. I promise you that you have something special. Something you can believe in. You have Greatness within you!” —Les Brown
Regardless Of What Challenge You Are Facing…
“Regardless of what challenge you are facing right now, know that it has not come to stay. It has come to pass. During these times, do what you can with what you have, and ask for help if needed. Most importantly — never surrender. Put things in perspective. Take care of yourself. Find ways to replenish your energy, strengthen your faith, and fortify yourself from the inside out. There is a power in you that is stronger than anything that you are facing. Go within…tap into this power. Know that you will find courage, strength, and resolve to go through any valley experiences. You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!” —Les Brown
