Wisdom is knowing who to be and what to do in a given situation; virtue is acting on that wisdom.

Am I taking enough bold and significant actions in order to advance my life and reach my full potential? If I were unafraid and acting from my highest self, what would I be doing to move forward in life?

Choosing our own aims and seeking to bring them to fruition creates a sense of vitality and motivation in life. The only things that derail our efforts are fear and oppression.

A hallmark of those who achieve greatness is the discovery that they can control the level of motivation they feel by better directing their own minds.

It is the obvious equation and the ultimate secret: the deeper and longer I give attention to my ambitions and passion, the more motivation I feel.

Let us be clear: Greatness belongs to those who have mastered the ability to focus relentlessly on their ambitions and act decisively toward them.

If we can see a dream in the distance, let us move toward it with real force, will, and consistency.

Honesty. Responsibility. Intelligence. Excellence. Courage. Respect. Vigilance. Service. Unity. These are the virtues of greatness that we must exemplify and expect. These are the virtues that forge remarkable people and may be wielded like a sword against many of the world’s ills.

Motivation feels fickle only to those who have been inattentive to their ambitions.
