What did you try hard at today?
Freedom does not come automatically; it is achieved. And it is not gained in a single bound; it must be achieved each day.
Make each day a masterpiece.
No matter how you feel, you made progress today.
Did you do every single thing you could today, to be your best?
I have a 'pillow test' - can I go to bed tonight knowing that I did my best today? If I can, I'm happy.
Don't just get through the day, get FROM the day
Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind.
Success is not a destination thing, it’s a daily thing.
If what you have done yesterday still looks big to you, you haven't done much today.
Every day I break my own personal record for number of days I have been alive.
What I did in the book [Today Matters] is I tried to help a person make their day - every day - their masterpiece.
Set excellent performance as your standard and strive to achieve it each day
Any day in which I get writing done is ideal to me.
No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.
Always maintain the attitude of a student. If you think you've done learning, bitterness sets in, but if you have more to achieve every day, in any arena, that makes each morning's awakening full of potential and cheery portent.
