Control The Cosmic Energy In You

"You’re a vibrating force in the workings of this world, a creative consciousness that directs both your own destiny and that of all humankind. You are—at this moment—engaged in an exquisite act of personal and global creation. When you take control of the cosmic energy within, you align yourself with the Universal Laws, a source that will allow you to create a wellspring of happiness, success, and value beyond belief!"

Your Life is So Precious

"The reason life is so precious is that it is limited." It is finite. Life can’t be multiplied, it can’t be saved up, and it can’t be stored away to be used in the future."

Are You Ready To Discipline Yourself

"This is easier said than done because discipline usually involves discomfort if not outright pain. You will absolutely feel like you are being tried by fire. But you know what? Pure gold is tried by fire. It is put through intense fire and the impurities are driven out, leaving pure gold. This is what discipline will do for every facet of your life. My question to you is this: Are you ready to discipline yourself to make changes that will dramatically improve the quality of your life, or do you need to hit rock bottom first?"

The Right Way To Look At Life

"It all depends on your mindset, Julia believes: “When I think about the past, I see that what might have been negative at the time turned out well in the end. Certain things had to happen for me to know what I know and be who I am today. If you look at life that way, you see that what you have learned every step of the way is going to help you for the rest of your life.”"

What is Real Toughness

"Real toughness is experiencing discomfort or distress,"leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action. It’s navigating discomfort to make the best decision you can."

-- Steve Magness

This quote by Steve Magness is talking about what it means to be truly tough. He believes that true toughness isn't just about being physically strong or able to handle difficult situations, but it's about being able to experience discomfort or distress and still be able to take thoughtful action.

To put it simply, Steve is saying that real toughness involves being able to navigate uncomfortable situations and making the best decisions possible despite the discomfort. This means leaning into the discomfort, paying attention to what's going on around you, and creating space for yourself to take thoughtful action.

Let me give you an example. Imagine you're taking a really difficult exam, and you start to feel anxious and uncomfortable. A tough person in this situation wouldn't just give up or panic, but they would lean into the discomfort, pay attention to what's going on, and create space to make the best decision possible. They might take a deep breath, refocus their attention, and calmly work through the exam to the best of their ability.

Another example could be in a situation where you need to have a difficult conversation with someone. It's uncomfortable and distressing, but a tough person would lean into the discomfort, pay attention to what's being said, and create space for themselves to respond thoughtfully. They might take a moment to gather their thoughts, speak calmly and respectfully, and work towards a solution.

In summary, Steve Magness is saying that true toughness involves being able to navigate discomfort and distress in order to make the best decisions possible. It's not just about being physically strong, but about being mentally tough and resilient in difficult situations.

Wise Dream Or Achievable Dream

"A dream is shadowy and elusive as long as we think of it as “something I wish would happen.” It becomes achievable only when we define it clearly as “a goal I will strive for.”"

Why Keep Your Success Journal

"An important part of your self-exploration is keeping a Success Journal. The word journal originally meant a written record of the experiences on a journey. Your pursuit of success is a voyage in itself, and your written record will help you get from here to your ultimate destination. Your process will take you through many stops along the way, and your entries can act as a personal road map, keeping you on track and redirecting you toward your goals."

Why Do Things You Like Best

"Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all."

To Become The Mighty Oak

"But picture the mighty oak. First that acorn had to break apart and a seedling had to emerge. Then that seedling had to face and survive droughts, floods, storms, being chopped down, and more. Eventually, it grew and grew into the mighty oak. That is what we must be willing to endure, and if we do, in time, we too will be the mighty oak standing tall and standing strong."

-- Robert Sully Sullivan
