I’ve worked with exceptionally successful people in the entertainment and business world. Each of them has taught me something about the minds of exceptional people.
They have confirmed my belief that the ideas people choose to have about themselves largely determine the quality of lives they lead. We can choose to believe in ourselves, and thus to strive, to risk, to persevere, and to achieve. Or we can choose to cling to security and mediocrity. We can choose to set no limits on ourselves, to set high goals and dream big dreams. We can use those dreams to fuel our spirits with passion. Or we can become philosophers of the worst kind, inventing ways to rationalize our failures, inventing excuses for mediocrity.
