Master Your Motivation

"To master your motivation, create choice, connection, and competence, which leads to the optimal motivation you need for achieving your goals."

-- Susan Fowler

Failure Not The End of Something

"Failure is not the end of something but the beginning of something else. I’ve spent my life building things, failing, figuring out the lessons from the failure and then doing something slightly (or completely) different to see if the outcome is different or the same. If the outcome is the same – another failure – then I tweak it again."

-- Nicholas Haralambous

Where You and Your Children Are

"Where you and your children are in your lives matters, too. Just as you can’t keep delaying ski trips because there is a minimum level of basic health you need in order to go skiing, you can’t keep delaying time with your six-year-old, because eventually your child won’t be six. Or seven. Or a child. The fact that those opportunities gradually disappear should cause you to reevaluate how much money you’d be willing to give up to have those experiences."

-- Bill Perkins

The Other Side of Uncomforable

"Pushing out of our comfort zone and reaching for that healthy body, reaching for that dream job, or choosing to be single and independent rather than leaning on a relationship that does not serve us can be scary. Although it is scary, my life today is proof that it is worth it. On the other side of being uncomfortable are joy, peace, and abundant love."

-- Shannon Kaiser

Stop Giving Power To Your Past

"We too can learn from the past, but we aren’t bound by things we have done or not done. We can determine how much of our past will affect us now.  We also determine what aspects of our past we will let shape our attitudes and actions. The past has no power to do anything—unless we give it the power."

-- John F. Westfall

The Mind Is So Powerful

"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

Practising Self-Compassion

"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

What Is Worth Spending

"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

The Universe Is Working Behind

"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

Take That First Step

"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
