"Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called "God." As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life."

Confronting Fear and Keep Going On

"People who make successful changes (even if it takes them many attempts) have done their mental maths.  They have identified the cost of not making the change and compared it to the cost benefit of making the change. Not making the change is costing them dearer.  Courage isn't about the absence of fear - it is about confronting it and going on regardless."

Don't Quit When Things Go Wrong

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

-- Lisa Nichols

When Subconscious Mind Pushed The Conscious Mind

"You have heard of people who had been through great danger tell how, when death stared them in the face and there seemed nothing they could do, things went black before them and, when they came to, the danger was past.  In the moment of need, their subconscious mind pushed the conscious out of the way, the while it met and overcame the danger.  Impelled by the subconscious mind, their bodies could do things absolutely impossible to their ordinary conscious selves."

-- Robert Collier

"Manifestation is an act of trust.

Your Mental Giant Can Find The Solution

"No matter how stupendous and complicated, nor how simple your problem maybe, the solution of it is somewhere in Mind, in Thought.  And since the solution does exist, this Mental Giant can find it for you.  It can Know, and it can Do, every right thing.  Whatever it is necessary for you to know, whatever it is necessary for you to do, you can know and you can do if you will but seek the help of this Genie of your Mind and work with it in the right way."

-- Robert Collier


"We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves. The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are."

-- Don Miguel Ruiz


"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less."

-- C. S. Lewis

-- Anthony Robbins

-- Adam Sicinski

-- Osho


"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."

-- Helen Keller

Perseverance Let You Go Further

"Perseverance is about pursuing a higher goal and developing an ability to deal with setbacks and failure on the way.   Persevering is a combination of mindset and habit. Mechanically it’s about having the stamina to actually keep going and doing the right things. Mentally it’s about knowing where to go and how to deal with setbacks right. Perseverance alone will not make you successful, but without it you will never get anywhere, and with it you can go further than most people."

-- Sascha Kellert

- Ursula K. Le Guin


"There is no delight in owning anything unshared."

-- Seneca

Your Own Future Is Your Own Making

"Your future is of your own making.  The mere fact that you have obstacles to overcome is in your favor, for when there is nothing to be done when things run along too smoothly, this 'Life Principle' seems to sleep.  It is when you need it, when you call upon it urgently, that it is most on the job."

-- Robert Collier

How You Can Generate Power and Energy

-- Marianne Williamson

Act Immediately on Good Decision

"For the little things that are good ripen into big things that are good. And the little things that are load ripen into big things that are bad. And this applies to decisions.  But good decisions must be followed through with action.  Without action, a good decision becomes meaningless, for the desire itself can die through lack of an attempt to achieve its fulfillment. That's why you should act immediately on a good decision."

-- W. Clement Stone


"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly."

"Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."

-- George Carlin


"Try getting angry without first having angry thoughts! Okay, now feeling stressed out without first having stressful thoughts -- or sad without sad thoughts -- or jealous without thoughts of jealousy. You can't do it -- it's impossible. The truth is, in order to experience a feeling, you must first have a thought that produces that feeling.

"Unhappiness doesn't and can't exist on its own. Unhappiness is the feeling that accompanies negative thinking about your life.  In the absence of that thinking, the unhappiness, or stress, or jealousy can't exist. There is nothing to hold your negative feelings in place other than your own thinking."

-- Richard Carlson
