“I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough.”

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”

“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”

“Nothing will work unless you do.”

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”

“Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.”

“The future depends on what you do today.”

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”

How's work? Are you engaged, working in flow and making breakthroughs, or are you disengaged, struggling to find motivation and produce results? To perform at your best, it's important to check in with yourself: Where are you going? What are you doing to get there?
