Little is ever changed by effort alone.

Risk tolerance is a personality trait.

People don't strive because they want to win; they strive because they realize they're already destined to win.

You must first learn to proactively accept what you have, then think about what you want—that's called focused thinking. Otherwise, you'll scatter your energy. Once scattered, even your limited resources can't work together as a force. The world is vast and dazzling, but most of its brilliance will have nothing to do with you.
