Action Is Power

"The more powerful a person is, the more they identify with achieving their goals and the more they persist in the face of resistance. Knowledge is not power, action is power."

-- Chris Lipp

Make It Part of Your Thinking

"Now I tell people that I was born with a burning desire to follow my dreams, and I sincerely believe that if you say that often enough it becomes such a part of your thinking that the last thing you’ll do is give up on whatever your dream is."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Positive Influenced Other Lives

"The true measure of a person’s success in life should not be judged by their rise to wealth or stature, but rather by the degree to which they have positively influenced other lives in their own lifetime."

--  JPC

The Power of Any Thought

"Thoughts are not facts. They are suggestions offered up to us by the brain to help us make sense of the world. The power of any thought is in how much we believe it to be the only truth. Taking power out of those thoughts starts with stepping back, getting some distance (metacognition) and seeing them for what they are."

-- Julie Smith

Important of Strength Training

"I really would urge every woman to consider some form of strength training. It is one of the most important things you can do to keep you mobile and active as you go down the path of life and it is never too early or late to start. Not only does it improve your balance and stability, it increases bone density, which is vital for protecting against osteoporosis. Plus there is something very satisfying about picking up a heavy box and realising you are quite capable of moving it by yourself." 

-- Trinny Woodall

Aim At Perfection in Everything

"Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and  ersevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable."

-- Lord Chesterfield

The Strenght of Character

"A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph."

-- James Allen

Learn From Our Past Experiences

"If our goal is to live each day with freedom and joy, we have a chance to learn from our past experiences without allowing them to interfere with the happiness and confidence that come from living intentionally today."

-- John F. Westfall

No Use Going Back To Yesterday

 "It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. 

-— Lewis Carroll

Your Life Energy

"Making deliberate choices about how to spend your money and your time is the essence of making the most of your life energy."

-- Bill Perkins
