If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

I'm not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn't bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!

It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.

“One page, one paragraph, of Hawking is more awe-inspiring, to say nothing of being more instructive, than the whole of Genesis and the whole of Ezekiel.”

“Part of what makes Dave successful is that he's one of the most pessimistic guys that you're going to find. He's always going to find a cloud in that silver lining. I think that's what keeps him motivated. So I don't think the motivation is going to come from anything other than the drive and the passion that Dave has instilled in this group.”

One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people, I inspire the public, I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.

Another miraculous transformation is the shift from a sales mentality to a service mentality. When we're motivated by the desire to sell, we're only looking out for ourselves.  When we're motivated by the desire to serve, we're looking out for others.  Since in the realm of consciousness, we only get to keep what we give away, a service mentality is a far more abundant attitude.
