"Successful people form habits that feed their success, instead of habits that feed their failure. They choose to have the slight edge working for them, not against them. They build their own dreams, rather than spend their lives building other people’s dreams, and they achieve these dramatic results in their lives through making choices that are the very antithesis of drama—mundane, simple, seemingly insignificant choices."
-- Jeff Olson
"Think about yourself—what you’re like, what appeals to you, when you’ve succeeded in the past. When you craft a habit to suit your particular idiosyncrasies, you set yourself up for success."
-- Gretchen Rubin
"When someone possesses a fixed mindset, they believe that their abilities, talents, and intelligence, as well as those of others, cannot change. When someone possesses a growth mindset, they believe that their personal attributes are able to change."
-- Ryan Gottfredson
"An important key to success is the courage to look at your busyness and identify what it is really about. It is my experience that busyness is often an excuse, a defense, or a resistance to an important challenge. In other words, busyness is a blindfold you wear when you’re afraid to face something. Busyness is often just fear. It can also mask a lack of trust. I often challenge my clients to explore how they might be using their busyness to avoid something important, such as intimacy, change, purpose, God, themselves, and even success."
-- Robert Holden
"Hold space for your personhood. You don’t need permission from anyone else to flourish. You don’t have to wait for other people to catch up to you. It is OK to walk boldly ahead. Go to yoga. Run. Wake up early and have quiet time. Practice your art. Buy yourself flowers. Be dedicated to your dreams. Be accountable to yourself. Don’t give so much of yourself to others that you begin to disappear from your own story."
-- Stacie Bloomfield
"You must begin this journey by finding a new way to treat fear. You have to change your relationship with fear. The best way to do that is to follow through with it. This means that you must look fear in the face and stand up to it."
-- Dr. Aziz Gazipura
"You will learn a lot from yourself if you stretch in the direction of goodness, of bigness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of emotional bravery. Be a warrior for love."
--Cheryl Strayed
"Here’s a critical point: Once you have initiated the cause, the effect takes place by itself. Once you have pushed the rock down the hill, it rolls by itself, by the law of gravity. Once you have planted a positive or negative seed in your mind, either flowers or weeds will grow. You can control the cause, but the effect happens automatically, whether you want it to or not."
-- Brian Tracy
"The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself."
-- Myles Munroe
"Time is the force that magnifies those simple daily disciplines into massive success. To grasp how the slight edge works, you have to view your actions through the eyes of time. Difficult takes a little time; impossible takes just a little longer."
-- Jeff Olson
