Just for today, I challenge you to ACT and BE the person that you want to be. If you want to be more confident, WALK and ACT more confidently today. I mean, STRUT around wherever you go. If you want to become a great athlete, PRETEND that you already ARE a great athlete. WALK like […]
According to the Harvard professor, Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, there are four types of people in the world…a “rat racer,” a “hedonist,” a “nihilist,” and people that are just “happy.” An example of a rat racer is someone who is focused on some future benefit and unable to be happy in the present. Many people say […]
I have told many of you about the Success Hotline (973 743 4690) and how great it is. This hotline was created by Dr. Rob Gilbert in 1992. He has a new 3 minute inspirational message every day and he hasn’t missed a day since 1992!!! Dr. Gilbert is one of the country’s top experts […]
If you are a tennis player, you know that the word “love” is a scoring term that means “zero.” But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Love is NOT “zero,” love is EVERYTHING. Love is why we play our sport; it’s why we do WHAT we do. HOW productive we are, and how WELL […]

That’s how losers feel. Why waste your whole week waiting for the weekend? Life is too short, make the most of it. […]
I always tell people that life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react. You can have the same situation and two different people will look at it in two different ways. Example, Johnny and Derek just lost a match to someone they could have beaten. Johnny said: “I lost. I played […]
All successful people know that failing is part of life. Someone once said, “The granite block in the path of normal people, is a stepping stone for the great.” I don’t believe in failure, just results. You can learn more from a loss, than from a win. As a tennis player, I don’t mind losing, […]
