Live with Purpose & Drive
Live with Purpose & Drive is the foundation of everything Greatness builds. In this Key, you'll learn how to think bigger than your circumstances, define success on your own terms, and ignite the kind of deep, lasting drive that doesn't fade when things get hard. You'll discover how to anchor your goals to something greater, channel your focus with precision, and stay relentlessly committed while others drift. Whether you're crafting a bold vision, clarifying your 'why', or trusting the detours of your journey, this Pillar gives you the mindset, principles, and internal fire to lead a life fueled by purpose — and impossible to ignore.
Greatness sets goals that feel impossible today, then breaks them into daily actions and executes relentlessly – until the unreachable becomes his new baseline for even bigger targets.
Greatness transcends local limits and thinks globally – because massive opportunities, valuable connections, and real influence exist beyond familiar borders, while small thinkers stay trapped competing for neighborhood scraps.
Greatness dreams impossibly big – because massive vision pulls in the money, talent, and opportunities that small thinking never sees, while modest goals guarantee you'll compete with everyone else for average results.
Greatness refuses beaten paths and ventures into uncharted territory – because hidden opportunities reward pioneers who get there first, while followers only see the trail once the best rewards are gone and fight over scraps.
Greatness rejects small upgrades and builds game changing breakthroughs – because market creators write the rules and capture the biggest rewards, while the rest scramble for leftovers in arenas they’ll never control.
Fortune favors the bold.
In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do
Great hopes make great men.
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood.
Big goals get big results. No goals get no results or somebody else's results.
Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Life is too short to be little.
Dream audaciously. Have the courage to fail big
Only those who risk going too far can possibly know how far one can go.
I want to put a ding in the universe
If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.
Let your dreams be bigger than you.
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
A person is only as big as the dream they dare to live.
You have to dream big to achieve big
If you think small, your world will be small. If you think big, your world will be big.
Nobody succeeds beyond their wildest expectations unless he or she begins with wild expectations.
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.
Why do anything unless it is going to be great?
If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.
Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with yourself.
Greatness maps the future with precision – setting clear intentions, not vague hopes, then reinforces them daily until that clarity becomes a magnet that pulls opportunities and opens doors locked to the aimless.
Greatness sets intentions for both what to achieve and who to become – because extraordinary goals require extraordinary character, and weak foundations crumble under the weight of massive success.
Greatness defines success on his own terms – refusing to chase crowd approval or cave to society's pressure to conform, choosing instead to build a life anchored in personal purpose and deep fulfillment, not public praise.
Greatness writes down his core values and purpose – forging a personal code he reviews often to guide every decision, cut through distractions, and keep his focus locked on mission when pressure hits, preventing the chaos and drift that derails the undefined.
We tend to get what we expect.
Live today as you want to be tomorrow.
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.
There is but one force, stronger than all the armies of the world - and that is an idea whose time has come.
The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.
The first step to becoming is to will it.
Make each day your masterpiece.
You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
When your intentions are pure, so too will be your success.
Your expectations open or close the doors of your supply. If you expect grand things, and work honestly for them, they will come to you, your supply will correspond with your expectation.
Expectations are a form of first-class truth: If people believe it, it's true
Your decisions make the circumstances. Your circumstances don't make the decisions.
Do things first and foremost for yourself and God. Everyone else second, because you don't want to put your motivational power in the hands of flawed humans.
The worth of life is not to be measured by results of achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.
The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice.
It is the nature of man to rise to greatness if greatness is expected of him.
The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.
Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution...
Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice.
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.
Definite intentions get definite results!
High expectations are the key to everything
If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and every day you have the opportunity to write a new page.
The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens.
Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
Where your attention goes, energy flows.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act...
Focus your energy, guard your time, train your mind, and the world will bend to your will
Get going. Move forward. Aim high. Plan a takeoff. Don't just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane
Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion...
You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it...
The quality of expectations determines the quality of our action.
Well, I always know what I want. And when you know what you want - you go toward it...
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
The most important things about goals is having one.
A person's character is a reflection of their dominant thoughts and actions.
Greatness builds his life on unshakable purpose – because when setbacks, failures, and chaos hit, that foundation keeps him steady and moving forward while those built on weak ground crumble under pressure.
Greatness defines his fundamental 'why' – the deeper purpose behind his goals – and wields it as an unwavering compass to make bold moves, stay locked in under pressure, and conquer challenges with conviction, while the aimless drift and falter when tested.
Greatness anchors his goals to a purpose larger than himself – knowing that lasting drive isn't fueled by fleeting excitement, but from creating meaningful impact that sustains motivation long after initial enthusiasm fades.
Greatness ruthlessly prioritizes what moves the needle – pouring his energy into the vital few actions that compound into breakthrough results, while cutting distractions that burn time and steal potential.
Greatness chases his calling with relentless drive – matching his natural gifts, hard-earned skills, and deep passions to what the world truly needs, because when your talents and actions serve real problems, money and fulfillment flow naturally.
Greatness moves with purpose, not reaction – channeling energy into intentional action, because when he chooses his path, he controls his future; when he reacts to others, he wastes his power chasing their plans, not his own.
Greatness guards his focus like his life depends on it – relentlessly filtering distractions and rejecting empty pursuits that steal attention, because scattered focus kills progress while laser focus drives breakthrough results.
Greatness fuels his drive by vividly picturing his mission's impact – seeing lives changed, generations uplifted, and legacies built – because that vision turns distant goals into emotional fuel that powers him through the finish line.
The secret of success is constancy of purpose.
Some pursue happiness - others create it.

It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.
Do what you love, and put your whole heart into it
Greatness builds discipline from within – striving for excellence when no one's watching and tracking performance with honesty, because self-accountability drives consistent progress, while those needing outside pressure can only go as far as others push them.
Greatness seizes the lead and drives forward relentlessly – acting decisively, bypassing permission, and pushing every project to completion, because decisiveness and unwavering determination claim opportunities that hesitation and doubt leave behind.
Greatness takes his place at the front by acting before anyone grants him permission – moving fast on opportunities, trusting his judgment, and letting results do the talking, while those who wait for a green light end up chasing what's already taken.
Greatness measures success against his own potential – not others' achievements – because internal competition shows exactly where he stands and what he can improve, while external comparison only shows how he ranks against people with different starting points, skills, and circumstances.
Greatness transforms doubt, envy, and criticism into rocket fuel – channeling every slight, insult, and underestimation into relentless effort that proves skeptics wrong with undeniable results, building a track record no one can ignore.
Greatness finishes what he starts – committing to completion instead of accumulating half-done projects, because unfinished tasks drain energy, erode self-trust, and weaken character, while disciplined follow-through builds confidence, momentum, and a reputation for reliability.
Greatness sustains motivation through razor-sharp purpose – eliminating distractions to focus on what actually matters, while those without clear direction scatter their energy across conflicting priorities and never finish what's important.
Courage to start and willingness to keep everlasting at it are the requisites for success.
When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Nothing comes easy. Success doesn't just drop on your lap. You have to go out and fight for it every day

Greatness crafts detailed plans with precision but stays agile in execution – quickly embracing change when better paths emerge, because flexibility turns unexpected challenges into opportunities for greater success, while those who cling to rigid plans limit their potential.

Greatness turns every setback into fuel for growth – trusting that each obstacle is a stepping stone designed to forge the resilience and wisdom required for lasting success, while those who blame circumstances repeat their mistakes and limit their growth.
Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.
Every moment is a fresh beginning.
Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.
Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
It is not in the pursuit of happiness that we find fulfillment, it is in the happiness of pursuit.
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.
A believer, a mind whose faith is consciousness, is never disturbed because other persons do not yet see the fact which he sees.
You never know what's around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain.
Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing.
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.
If you believe, all things are possible.
Worry ends where faith begins.
God never performs his greatest feats in your yesterdays.

The journey is the reward.
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
Faith doesn't wait until it understands; in that case it wouldn't be faith.
Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier.
Don't look further for answers: be the solution. You were born with everything you need to know. Make a promise to stop getting in the way of the blessing that you are. Take a deep breath, remember to have fun, and begin.
He who has faith has an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
We should always pray for help, but we should always listen for inspiration and impression to proceed in ways different from those we may have thought of.
I am open to the guidance of synchronicity and do not let expectations hinder my path.
Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
What is required will be provided.
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.
Doubt makes the mountain which faith can move.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. You can't see the future, yet you know it will come; you can't see the air, yet you continue to breathe.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
Trust in God means not having to have a particular result, but rather, knowing that whatever result is for our highest good.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.
No matter how impossible, unattainable, or unimaginable something may seem - if it's meant to be, it'll be.
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labor.
Faith is not belief. Belief is passive. Faith is active.
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Success isn't about the end result, it's about what you learn along the way.
Some people come into your life as blessings. Others come into your life as lessons.
At first dreams seem impossible, then improbable, then inevitable.
The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.
Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath. You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe is by letting go of it. Let go & it will be yours forever."
Faith makes things possible, not easy.
Ultimately, blind faith is the only kind.
Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem. Expect abundance at every level.
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.
The way to see Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, Faith looks up.
As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.
Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places.
Faith is what you believe, not what you know.
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace...
Faith is raising the sail of our little boat until it is caught up in the soft winds above and picks up speed, not from anything within itself, but from the vast resources of the universe around us.
If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
To believe in what you can see and touch is no belief at all. To believe in what you cannot see or touch is the true measure of a believer.
Faith is the daring of the soul to go farther than it can see.
Enjoy life. This is not a dress rehearsal.
We're all on the same path. We're just on different places along that path.
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
Be faithful in small things, because it is in them that your strength lies.
Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
