Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.

Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can't let our circumstances or what others do or don't do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.

Success and failure are emotional and physiological experiences. We need to deal with them in a way that is present and calm.

No matter how frustrated, disappointed and discouraged we may feel in the face of our failures, it's only temporary. And the faster you can stop wallowing in guilt, blame or resentment, the faster you can put it behind you.

I'm a big believer in overcoming and achieving and doing things and not feeling sorry for yourself.

Success is so bad for everybody, period. Especially a certain kind of success, when people practically give up their identity. They forget who they are, how they are.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

First of all, from a spiritual perspective, I don't think anyone needs to be apologetic about being successful or having money. The more successful you are, the more job opportunities you create for other people.

It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people.
