"The mind is so powerful that if we could harness its immense capabilities, we could run an entire state’s computer system. Our mind, if programmed properly, will bring forth to its owner an abundance o f wealth, fame, love, success, and anything that is truly desired."
-- John Paul Carinci
"When someone is down, we show them kindness because we know it is what they need. So, if you are committed to managing your mood and overall mental health, commit to practising self-compassion. Once you understand the problem, use it to help you work out where you want to go and focus on the horizon ahead of you."
-- Julie Smith
"Instead of thinking about what you do and what you buy in terms of money, think about them in terms of time. Think about it. What ls worth spending your life on? Seeing your work in that light just may change the way you manage your time."
-- John C. Maxwell
"No matter what the immediate situation looks like, remember there are always things happening behind the scenes. Much like a Broadway play or Hollywood movie, things are going on behind the curtain: actors prepare to go on stage, makeup is being applied, lights are adjusted, the director gives direction. Behind the curtain things are always happening, the same way the universe is working behind the scenes to get you what you want. We must trust that the show will go on. Because it always does."
-- Shannon Kaiser
"Remember the old Chinese proverb: ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ Take that first step and you are closer to reaching your goal."
-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup
"If you are ready to manage your wants—to start chipping away—the first step is to ask what exactly needs chipping. And that raises the question “What is my why?” The bestselling author and speaker Simon Sinek always gives people in search of true success in work and life the advice that they need to find their why. That is, he tells them that to unlock their true potential and happiness, they need to articulate their deep purpose in life and shed the activities that are not in service of that purpose. Your why is the sculpture inside the block of jade."
-- Arthur C. Brooks
"There’s a difference between failing and feeling like a failure and I think that learning is that difference. When you learn through a failure you have not failed. You’ve learned how not to do something. You’ve learned a new way to not solve the problem you are working on."
-- Nicholas Haralambous
"Failure is just the raw material of success. We all screw up; we all have weaknesses; we all have growing pains. And we all have at least one story in us of an occasion when we’ve reframed a particular failure, where we’ve changed our perspective, and have seen how a failure turned out to be the best thing that ever happened."
-- Bill Burnett
"When my parents started to wake up each day with gratitude, they detached from the daily drama. Instead of focusing on the issues, they held space for laughter, life, and love. Problems still happened, but there were less of them, and those that did occur were not as troublesome. You see, issues are part of life, but the drama around those issues is optional. Break up with your issues. The joyful way to stop feeling victimized in your life is to actualize your gratitude."
-- Shannon Kaiser
"If your thoughts determine your reality, and you keep thinking the same thoughts (which are a product and reflection of the environment), then you will continue to produce the same reality day after day. Thus, your internal thoughts and feelings exactly match your external life, because it is your outer reality—with all of its problems, conditions, and circumstances—that is influencing how you’re thinking and feeling in your inner reality."
-- Dr. Joe Dispenza
