If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.

We all have anxiety about things. We all have little insecurities, but eventually you have to face your fears if you want to be successful, and everybody has some fear of failure.

Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.

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.

For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn't about conquering something; it's being happy with who you are.

Greater self-esteem produces greater success, and greater success produces more high self-esteem, so it keeps on spiraling up.

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.

The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you.

Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all.
