The most important thing that’ll drive you is your ability just to sit down and create a vision of how you want to be and each day to live it in your mind.

That’s what’ll give you the drive, that’s what'll give you the power. β€” Tony Robbins

Mckay

Individuals who succeed have a belief in the power of commitment. If there's a single belief that seems almost inseparable from success, it's that there's no great success without commitment.

You'll find they're the ones with the most commitment. β€” Tony Robbins

But the instinct of hoarding, like all other instincts, tends to become hypertrophied and perverted; and with the institution of private property comes another institution-that of plunder and brigandage.
