Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

You build your life around the fact that you are going to die, and then you don’t die.

Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.
