In order to get somewhere in life, you need to have a vision. The vision brings you to the table. Without a vision, you just do what everybody else does and you are just there.

Fulfilling your mission is one thing; vision is another, and having a commitment to something leads you to do better work.

If you set out to do something and you give it your all and it doesn't work out, be willing to modify your goal slightly. Have the ability to look in another direction. A small shift could guide you to the real purposes of your life.

I've learned that if I only put my mind to one thing that I can get tunnel vision. Then I may not be as open to other opportunities because I'm so focused on one thing. I think what's worked better for me personally is I have three goals every day: be nice, work hard, and make friends.

It's not an accident that musicians become musicians and engineers become engineers: it's what they're born to do. If you can tune into your purpose and really align with it, setting goals so that your vision is an expression of that purpose, then life flows much more easily.

If you have a vision and you are trying to accomplish something, you have to be competitive, or things are going to slip by you.

But if the vision is strong enough, and your goals are steady, and you believe, pretty soon you bring other people with you.

In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.

I believe that living life with a definiteness of purpose, with having a central focus, is essential to success.

What we find is that if you have a goal that is very, very far out, and you approach it in little steps, you start to get there faster. Your mind opens up to the possibilities.
