“If you start today to do the right thing, you are already a success even if it doesn’t show yet.”

“The key is this: Meet today's problems with today's strength. Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow's strength yet. You simply have enough for today.”

“If you do not put up with the gospel truth that you have a purpose which you must carry to successful completion, you are yet to start living.”

“The fact that you already have it all within you doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go to school, learn your craft, read books, or go to workshops. Just remember that all you’re really doing is using other people and things to remind you of what you already know. And you don’t have to wait until you know “enough” before you go for it and become successful.”

“In his view, we were already a success, because we were doing something hard and it was something that mattered to us. You don't measure things like that with words like success or failure, he said. Satisfaction comes from trying hard things and then going on to the next hard thing, regardless of the outcome. What mattered was whether or not you were moving in a direction you thought was right.”

“if you wait for everyone else to do the right thing before you do the right thing, then you'll never do what's right. You have to do what's right even if other people aren't. Maybe even especially if other people aren't.”
