“I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.”

“The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”

“It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.”

“Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”

“You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

“What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”

“You see, it’s never the environment; it’s never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events — how we interpret them — that shapes who we are today and who we’ll become tomorrow.”

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

“Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.”

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

If you want to be successful in any undertaking you need to go for it with the same force and determination that Sly did. You just can’t give up at the first sign of resistance or get discouraged because someone disagreed with you. You have to just keep going until you get whatever it is you’re looking to get. Just be sure you actually want the thing you’re trying to get.
