The following came from Mike Litman.... He has some very motivational free stuff. Maybe visit his website.  http://www.mikelitman.com 

These words of inspiration and power come from one of my
favorite books, this one written in 1917.

"Always will I strive to be greater than I am. I must
SURPASS MYSELF. In each successive act, test,
encounter, thought, I will be GREATER than in the one
previous. I am what I am now, but in an hour I must
be MORE than I am now. In everything must I exert
more power to surpass myself."

Here's another one.

"From now on I vow I will try to act the part of a person
TEN TIMES bigger than I am now, for by so doing, I
construct greater powers in my own brain which will
actually build me into such a leader. I refuse to longer
be confined by the shadowy walls which heretofore have
cramped me into a narrow sphere. From this day forth
the word "limit" is banished from my mind.

Powerful stuff.
