Wish all a happy 2018

Believe That You Can Beat Them

"So you have to sit yourself down and tell yourself whatever you have to tell yourself so you start to believe it, that you can beat them, that you WILL beat them. You may even have to lie a bit to yourself at first to get the belief going.  Whatever it takes. And from then on, once you start to believe, you make sure you’re searingly honest with yourself. Are you working as hard as you could? Have you done everything, and I mean everything, you can to get ready for that match? And the answer always has to be yes. There has to be no doubt in your mind. Otherwise, you’re going to lose."

-- Lawrence Dallaglio

Remain True To What Guides You

"Stand up for what you believe in. Always with conviction, with passion and integrity. Don’t let ideology blind you, but remain true to what guides you. And speak in your own voice, in your own words, in a way that makes sense to you and that could not be from anyone else."

-– Nicola Sturgeon

Don’t Live Out of Fear

"It is a constant refrain in scripture: “do not be afraid” – don’t live out of fear. Of course, it is natural that we all sometimes feel afraid. We’re afraid of being alone, of failing, of not coping. But if we live our lives from a place of fear, it is damaging to us, to our relationships, to our communities. One needs to find something that gives a sense of safety, of security, of home. And that comes with accepting we are all known by god and loved by god. If you allow that truth in, it enables you to find freedom from fear. So you can live out not of fear but of hope and gratitude."

-– The Right Reverend Libby Lane

Respect The Humanness of Others

"Treat everybody as equal value, irrespective of his or her status or who they are. That’s the thing I want for my children, I want them to always feel that nobody’s better than you and vice versa. That’s what my parents taught me. Never treat anybody as lesser and never accept anyone treating you as lesser. Respect the humanness of the other person."

-- Helena Kennedy QC

All Answers We Want Are Within Us

"All the answers that we want are within us.  Live your own life.  Walk your own path."

-– Dr Maki Mandela

Merry Christmas 2017

May all your wishes come true this Christmas.

If You Don’t Question Things

"Question everything … if you don’t question things, there’s no knowledge, no learning, no creativity, no freedom of choice, No imagination."

-– Heston Blumenthal

My Best Advice Is Listen

"My best advice is listen, listen rather than talk. I was never bright in school, but I was a very good listener, and I still am. I have a better life because of it. When I meet people, I’m curious about their story, about how they did what they did. Along the way you meet people smarter than you and they teach you what you don’t already know. So I listen to them, take away my little tit-bits, and off I go …"

-- Simon Cowell

Merry Christmas 2017

Enjoy your life and stay happy.

My Advice For Success

"I’ve thought about this, and my advice for success comes down to three things: be curious, show up, stay in touch. You have to keep reading, listening, talking, thinking, finding out how people think, what they do. And chase down anything that seems Interesting."

-– Ari Emanuel

In Touch With Infinite Life and Boundless Wisdom

"Your subconscious processes are always lifeward and constructive. Your subconscious is the builder of your body and maintains all its vital functions. It is on the job twenty-four hours a day and never sleeps. It is always trying to help and preserve you from harm. Your subconscious mind is in touch with Infinite Life and Boundless Wisdom, and its impulses and ideas are always lifeward."

-- Joseph Murphy

Move Toward Something That You Fear

"When you move toward something that you fear, the fear diminishes in size and influence, becoming smaller and smaller, and eventually it has no influence over your emotions. But if you back away from the fear or avoid the fear-inducing person or situation, it grows and grows and soon takes over your whole life. Everyone has had this experience."

-- Brian Tracy

When You Know Your Purpose in Life

"When you know your purpose in life and are growing to reach your maximum potential, you’re well on your way to being a success. But there is one more essential part of the success journey: helping others. Without that aspect, the journey can be a lonely and shallow experience."

--  John C. Maxwell

Become More Positively Charged

"Your mood and morale become more positively charged when you use high intensity and concentrated self-talks. “I can do it.” “This is awesome.” “I can win.” “We make the best team.” “Everything is possible.” are some of the common examples of positive self-talks."

-- Sayan Chakraborty

A Full-Time Believer in Writing Habits

"I’m a full-time believer in writing habits … You may be able to do without them if you have genius but most of us only have talent and this is simply something that has to be assisted all the time by physical and mental habits or it dries up and blows away.… Of course you have to make your habits in this conform to what you can do. I write only about two  hours every day because that’s all the energy I have, but I don’t let anything interfere with those two hours, at the same time and the
same place.

-- Flannery O Conner

Only With Letting Go Comes Gains

"Letting go is a form of spirit, an enlightenment, a form of wisdom and a state of life.  A popular saying goes, 'Only with letting go comes gains.'  To be able to let go means to be completely understand impermanence, to be able to let go of attachment caused by confused thoughts.  Letting go means to accomplish oneself, its result is life with little obstruction and no unease."

-- Buddha

What Saves A Man

"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it."

-- Antoine De Saint Exupery

Keep Starting Steps as Small and Manageable

"Many people succeed best when they keep their starting steps as small and manageable as possible; by doing so, they gain the habit of the habit, and the feeling of mastery. They begin their new yoga routine by doing three poses, or start work on a big writing project by drafting a single sentence in a writing session."

-- Gretchen Rubin

People Who Are Passionate

"People who are passionate tend to work harder and invest more in achieving their goals.  Passionate people also read and think more.  Passionate people tend to have an informational edge over others who are not as passionate.  One trick related to passion is that you are not likely to be passionate about something you do not understand.  Often, the level of passion you will have for a topic will grow over time.  The more you know about some topics, the more passionate you will get."

-- Charlie Munger

Repeating An Affirmation

"Repeating an affirmation, knowing what you are saying and why you are saying it, leads the mind to that state of consciousness where it accepts that which you state as true. Keep on affirming the truths of life until you get the subconscious reaction that satisfies."

-- Joseph Murphy

Systematically Organized For Our Weal or Woe

"All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits—practical, emotional, and intellectual,—systematically organized for our weal or woe, and bearing us irresistibly toward our destiny."

-- William James

Difference Between The Brave and Coward

"What is the difference between the brave man or woman and the coward? The answer is that the brave person confronts the fear, moves toward the fear, deals with the fear, and resolves the fearful situation. The cowardly person, on the other hand, backs away from the fear, avoids the fear, and hopes that the fear will go away by itself."

-- Brian Tracy

The Most Important Step To Success

"The most important step is the first step. All those old sayings are really true. Well begun is half done. Don’t get it perfect, get it going. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

-- Gretchen Rubin

-- Goethe

Begin To See Ourselves in a New Light

--  John C. Maxwell

Fastest Way To Get What You Want

"Whatever I want in life, I’ve found that the best way to get it is to focus my energy on giving to others. If I want to feel more hopeful, positive, and inspired, I try to infuse that in someone else’s day. If I want more success for myself, the fastest way to get it is to go about helping someone else obtain it."

-- Darren Hardy

Someone of a Different Culture

"It is only when you meet someone of a different culture from yourself that you begin to realise what your own beliefs really are."

-- George Orwell

Having Fun Is Important

"Having fun is important, if only because it’s easier to demand more of ourselves when we’re giving more to ourselves. According to procrastination expert Neil Fiore, people who schedule playtime are more likely to tackle unappealing projects than people who never let themselves enjoy guilt-free fun until after their work is finished."

-- Gretchen Rubin

Love and Harmony

"Love and harmony between husband and wife usually takes years of compromise to realize.  Many people only realize in their twilight years, that marriage relies on no theories and only speaks of adaptation and giving in.  An important tip to blissful marriage is: Be more forgiving and good days will come.  Arguments in a marriage need no theories to resolve but forgiveness.  This plain, simple tip in life, however, takes years of going through challenges for people to full realise."

-- Buddha

The Wisdom You Seek

"When you take time to quiet your mind and listen deeply, the solutions you need are revealed. The wisdom you seek is within you."

-- Jack Kornfield

When Effort is Reduced to a Minimum

"When you enter into a sleepy, drowsy state, effort is reduced to a minimum. The conscious mind is submerged to a great extent when in a sleepy state. The reason for this is that the highest degree of outcropping of the subconscious occurs just prior to sleep and just after you awaken. In this state the negative thoughts, which tend to neutralize your desire and so prevent acceptance by your subconscious mind, are no longer present."

-- Joseph Murphy

Cultivate The Habit of Thinking

"It is a profoundly erroneous truism that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise  opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of operations we can perform without thinking about them.

-- Alfred North Whitehead

If You Use Negative Self-Talk Repeatedly

"If you use negative self-talk repeatedly, you will start believing that these negative self-talks are true for you. Negative self-talk means negative beliefs which will attract negativity to your life."

-- Sayan Chakraborty

The Willingness To Take Risks

"The development of courage and self-confidence is absolutely essential for success, because it is the fear of failure that holds back most people. In the Forbes 400 listing of the richest people in America in 2015, the self-made billionaires listed “the willingness to take risks” as one of the five most important qualities to which they attributed their success."

-- Brian Tracy

Something That Wasn't Worth It

"People automatically associate quitting with failure, but sometimes that's exactly what you should do.  If you already spent too much time on something that wasn't worth it, walk away.  You can't get that time back. The worst thing you can do now is waste even more time."

-- Jason Fried

Life Is Always About Choices

"A kind thought is the beginning of all things wonderful.  An evil thought is the origin of all tragedies.  Kindness and evil differ only by choice.  In life, we are always treading the line between kindness and evil, leaning to the left bring us to kindness, skewing to the right to evil.  Life is always about choices, made in a split second, a choice can decide long periods of happiness or even a lifetime of prosperity or desolateness.  A mindful kind thought is better than hundred days of spiritual practice."

-- Buddha

Work Your Way Through It

"Maybe you’ve made a lot of mistakes in your life, or you’ve had an especially difficult past with many obstacles. Work your way through it and move on. Don’t let it prevent you from reaching your potential."

--  John C. Maxwell

-- Joseph Murphy

-- Cliff Michaels

Make Challenging But Realistic Plans

"Make challenging but realistic plans and work at making them happen. And whatever you do, don’t rely on luck. In any case, if you’re doing it properly, you won’t need it."

-- Richard Templar

Select One Goal With Greatest Impact

"Select the one goal that could have the greatest positive impact on your life, make a plan for its achievement, and work on it every single day until you are successful."

-- Brian Tracy

What Tires Us Are Our Minds

"Life does not tire us, what tires us are our minds, specifically meaning our desires and wants are too numerous, restricting our enjoyment of life's joy.  We need only have a heart of contentment to be able to keep our moods pleasant at all times.  With little things to desire, we will not be entrapped by worldly affairs, our moral characters will thus be refined."

-- Buddha

What You Tell Yourself Each Day

"No matter who you are, how you speak to yourself not only reflects but affects every aspect of your life. What you tell yourself each day reflects not only what you think, but also how you feel and act. This can directly influence your results in life."

-- Sayan Chakraborty

Your Mind Is Not Evil

"Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends upon how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere. You build a new body every eleven months. Change your body by changing your thoughts and keeping them changed. When your mind is relaxed and you accept an idea, your subconscious goes to work to accept the idea."

-- Joseph Murphy

Dream Acts As Compass

"We all need something worthwhile to aim for. A dream provides us with that. It acts as a compass, telling us the direction we should travel. And until we’ve identified that right direction, we’ll never know for sure that our movement is actually progress."

--  John C. Maxwell

If You Want To Become Successful

"If you want to become successful and earn more money, stop thinking about what you should get paid for doing something for an hour, and start asking yourself how you can raise the value you provide to other people for the hour you spend."

-- Chris Widener

Learning How To Give and Take

"Only with letting go do we have gains, only by learning how to give and take can we gain more. So appropriate giving in and learning to let go is a form of wisdom.  Actually, to give in reasonably is a suave way of life and a skill; to give in reasonably is to be open-minded and a realization of life.  The doors of life usually have no keys.  During a critical point in life, what one needs most is not a conventional key but a rock to smash obstacles!"

-- Buddha

Do Something Every Day on Your Important Goal

"Do something every day on your most important goal. Do something seven days a week, thirty days a month. Never let a day go by where you don’t do something that moves you at least one step forward toward something that is important to you."

-- Brian Tracy

All The Events and Circumstances of Your Life

"Remember, it is not the thing believed in that hurts or harms you, but the belief or thought in your mind that creates the result. All your experiences, all your actions, and all the events and circumstances of your life are but the reflections and reactions to your own thought."

-- Joseph Murphy

The Power of Influence

"The best way to increase your potential for whatever traits you desire is to spend the majority of your time with people who already possess those traits. You will then see the power of influence work for you, rather than against you."

-- Darren Hardy

We Always Have Choices

"Our lives are unpredictable, but we always have choices. We are free to respond, moment by moment. Even though you may be anxious, fear is often excitement holding its breath. Let yourself sense life’s vitality, know life’s joyful and painful evanescence, and respond with your whole spirit."

-- Jack Kornfield

The Key To Reaching Your Potential

"Commitment to continual improvement is the key to reaching your potential and to being successful. Each day you can become a little bit better than you were yesterday. It puts you one step closer to your potential. And you’ll also find that what you get as the result of your growth is not nearly as important as what you become along the way."

--  John C. Maxwell

Each of Us Has Our Own Advantage

"Life is short, do not complicate all relationships by over-thinking.  Forgive some wrongdoings and understand the different opinions of others, because by leading a simple life can a person know the true meaning of life.  Each of us has our own advantage.  What lies within us will have its natural purpose.  Each blossom will bloom into a universe of its own."

-- Buddha

There Is Nothing Impossible To Me

"I rise above my circumstances. I rise above all handicaps, all hindrances, all conditions. I rise above my environment, and I control my life. I am successful, and I have success. There is nothing impossible to me."

-- Sayan Chakraborty

Only One Universal Healing Principle

"There is only one universal healing principle operating through everything. We can consciously direct it to bless ourselves in countless ways. There are many different approaches, techniques, and methods in using the universal power, but there is only one process of healing, which is faith, for according to your faith is it done unto you."

-- Joseph Murphy

The First Step is The Most Difficult Step

"Take action on your plan. Do something. Do anything. But take action immediately. Taking the first step is the most difficult step. The hardest job, it’s said, is the one on which you never get started."

-- Brian Tracy

Start Hanging Around with More Successful People

-- Chris Widener

Real Love Moves in Both Directions

"You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else."

-- Cheryl Strayed

Growing Up in a Process of Admitting Our Mistakes

"We make mistakes ceaselessly, growing up in a process of admitting and correcting our mistakes.  When we err, we must give ourselves the chance to rectify and the opportunity to walk towards success.  If we only think of shirking responsibility and running away after making mistakes, we will end up suffering the most grievous hurt.  One's maturity does not come with age, but the ability to perform contemplation at different phases of life."

-- Buddha

Carefully Planning Your Way to Success

"Carefully planning your way to success is a sure way to achieve your goals, and that approach should never be underestimated. Just remember that you need to be patient and persevering and to know that there can be delays and detours along the way."

-- Donald Trump

Faith is Like a Seed Planted in the Ground

"Know that faith is like a seed planted in the ground; it grows after its kind. Plant the idea (seed) in your mind, water and fertilize it with expectancy and it will manifest. Be a mental engineer and use tried and proved techniques in building a grander and greater life."

-- Joseph Murphy

Focus on Yourself Instead

"Focus on yourself instead.  What's going on in here is way more important than what's going on out there.  When you spend time worrying about someone else, you can't spend that time improving yourself."

-- Jason Fried

If You Had No Limitations

-- Brian Tracy

Success in Life

"Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.”

--  John C. Maxwell

Being Strong In Life

-- Buddha

Speak To Your Subconscious Mind

"When you feel physically and mentally disturbed, the best thing you can do is to let go, relax, and still the wheels of your thought processes. Speak to your subconscious mind. Tell it to take over in peace, harmony, and divine order. You will find that all the functions of your body will become normal again. Be sure to speak to your subconscious mind with authority and conviction. It will respond by carrying out your command."

-- Joseph Murphy

What’s Going To Enable You To Be Successful

"You have to have that root word of motivation, which is motive, meaning a compelling reason to act. You have to have that compelling reason to act in order to get started. But how many people do we know who get started and then quit? Motivation isn’t what’s going to get you there. Habit is what keeps you going. Habit and discipline are what’s going to enable you to be successful."

-- Chris Widener

I Think Only of Prosperity

-- Brian Tracy

Allow Courage and Fearlessness to Gain in Advantage

"Most people will feel worried and fearful in the face of something major.  If we allow fear to get the better of us, we will lose self-confidence and inevitably perform poorly and be defeated.  However, if we allow our courage and fearlessness to gain in advantage, then we can bravely focus on our actions, while success is not 100% guaranteed, we at least stand a chance to win."

-- Buddha

"The influence your friends have over you is subtle and can be positive or negative; either way, the impact is incredibly powerful. Watch out! You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life."

-- Darren Hardy

Infinite Intelligence and Boundless Wisdom

"Your subconscious mind is one with Infinite Intelligence and Boundless Wisdom. It is fed by hidden springs and is called the law of life. Whatever you impress upon your subconscious mind, the latter will move heaven and earth to bring it to pass. You must, therefore, impress it with right ideas and constructive thoughts."

-- Joseph Murphy

Be Jack-of-Few-trades, Focused on One

--  John C. Maxwell

Act With Your Best Intentions

"Listen to your heart, and consult your body and your head. Then, experiment, take a step, learn, discover, grow. You can enjoy even the mistakes; they are part of the game. All you can do is act with your best intentions, recognizing you cannot control the results."

-- Jack Kornfield

Whether You’re Going To Be Successful

"It’s not what you learn at school that helps you determine whether or not you’re going to be successful. It’s what you learn and apply after you get out of school that determines whether you’re going to be successful or not."

-- Chris Widener

In Life, It is Important to Learn to Let Go

"Life is not easy, no matter how glamorous a life a person leads, there must be some pain and suffering behind the scene, no matter how happy a person is, there would be things he is helpless about.  In life, it is important to learn to let go, because only then can one be relaxed and happy.  Next is not to be greedy, including not making unnecessary assumptions or craving for unrealistic things."

-- Buddha

First You Have To Decide What It Is

One's Life is Limited If One Has No Ambitions

"One's life is limited, if he has no ambitions, it would be natural to live life in a mundane manner.  If one has something to hang onto in life, a spark of aspiration, then, it would be very important to live a disciplined life.  Why so?  Because we love our lives, we love ourselves, being disciplined is a manifestation of loving oneself."

-- Buddha

If You Want The Subconscious To Work For You

"If you want the subconscious to work for you, you have to give it the right request and get its cooperation. It is always working for you. It is controlling your heartbeat and breathing this minute.

-- Joseph Murphy

The Law of Cause and Effect

-- Brian Tracy

Whatever Success You Want to Achieve

"If you’re willing to take responsibility for being successful or being a failure at where you are, it becomes very powerful because if it’s true that wherever you are today is the sum of the things that you’ve done up until now, then it’s also true that wherever you want to go, whatever success you want to achieve is also going to be determined by what you do every day from here on out."

--  John C. Maxwell

Planting Good Causes in This Lifetime

"All reunions and separations result from the fruition of causes, those destined to meet will meet even if separated by a thousand miles, those not fated to meet will pass by each other unnoticed.  All things are ephemeral in nature, time flies and life is short, full of suffering.  It is necessary to cherish the opportunities to do good and accumulate merits.  Cultivate a good heart, say kind words, do kind deeds and be a good person ensure that we do not waste this life.  Planting good causes in this lifetime, will reap us good results in the future."

-- Buddha

-- Darren Hardy

What We Do Each and Every day

"What we do each and every day takes us to a place of either failure or success. One of the ways that I boil this down myself is in what I call a little equation that produces big results, and it’s simply this: your short-term tasks multiplied by time equals your long-term accomplishments."

-- Chris Widener

-- Buddha

Our Own Inner Fears Beliefs and Opinions

"All of us have our own inner fears, beliefs, and opinions. These inner assumptions rule and govern our lives. A suggestion has no power in and of itself. Its power arises from the fact that you accept it mentally. Only at that point do your subconscious powers begin to act according to the nature of the suggestion."

-- Joseph Murphy

Everyone Stumbles In The Ordinary Rhythm of Life

"Everyone stumbles. In the ordinary rhythm of life, we falter and then learn from our suffering.

But don’t follow their advice."

-- Jack Kornfield

Preparation Prevents Disasters and Troubles

The Key to Door of Happiness

"One must undertake life's happiness with a calm heart.  Suffering often comes about as a result of too much desire and too little contentment.  One's spiritual cultivation is to a large extent, the control of desire.  Everyone has desires, but excessiveness will cause us to fall into the muddy depths of pain and suffering.  Contentment is the key to Door of Happiness."

-- Buddha

Everything That Has Happened To You

"Everything that has happened to you happened because of thoughts impressed on your subconscious mind through belief. If you have communicated wrong or distorted concepts to your subconscious mind, it is of the most urgent importance to correct them.  The sure way to do this is by repeatedly giving your subconscious mind constructive, harmonious thoughts. As these are
frequently repeated, your subconscious mind accepts them. In this way, you can form new, healthier habits of thought and life, for your subconscious mind is the seat of habit."

-- Joseph Murphy

Embrace Failure As a Piece of Knowledge

"If you embrace failure as a piece of knowledge which teaches you the process by which the activity can’t be done, then you will not be frustrated. Rather, you will  start doing the same activity by a different method and observe the results. It’s fine if failure follows you.

Whether Your Thoughts Are Good or Bad

"Remember, your subconscious mind does not engage in proving whether your thoughts are good or bad, true or false. It responds according to the nature of your thoughts or suggestions.

-- Joseph Murphy

-- Cliff Michaels

People Want To Help Those Who Help Themselves

-- Buddha

Your Brain To Perform At Its Peak

-- Darren Hardy

Their Resilient Can-Do Attitude

"People like Richard Branson, Neil Armstrong, Albert Einstein, and Rosa Parks—people crazy enough to believe they could change the world and did! Importantly, none of these pioneers and thought leaders could have accomplished what they did had it not been for their resilient, can-do attitude.

Sincerity is a Law of Nature

-- Buddha

Our Choice of Attitude

"Our choice of attitude is the foundation of our resilience and our outlook on life itself.

--  Alex Pattakos

Achieve Things That Mortals See As Extraordinary

"Willpower is the ability to take a step into the unknown even when your brain is sending cautionary messages to your body that you should not do this. It may hurt, it may not end and it could be worse than you imagine. Top athletes override these messages and can take that step into the unknown. This is when they achieve the things that mere mortals see as extraordinary.”

-- Ros Taylor

Thoughts Which Your Mind Dwell Upon

I'm Thankful For Failures

"I'm thankful for failures.  They teach lessons.  I'm thankful for challenges.  They build character.  I'm thankful for what I don't have.  It shows possibility.  I'm thankful for what I have.  Too much would be a burden.  Mostly, I'm thankful for where I am.  It's where I'm supposed be."

-- Cliff Michaels

Make Your Life Meaningful

"We are all the authors of our own autobiographies, and we can change the stories of our lives. We can become valuable resources in helping others.

Live your life with meaning at the core and make your life as meaningful as you can!"

--  Alex Pattakos

Deep Practice Can Be Used To Develop Skill

"I believe more in nurture than nature in learning and development. I know what can be achieved in developing talent through the 10 000-hour rule and the principles of deep practice. Deep practice can be used to develop skills and train the mind and in a sport such as rowing, having the correct mindset is key."

-- Ros Taylor

The Beauty of One's Character

"The beauty of one's character cannot be separate from kindness in character, kindness forms the basis of virtue.  To be kind to others, basically means to appreciate the good points in others, committing kind acts with others.  Later on it comes to mean treating and helping others with a kind attitude.  Kindness is the actualisation of virtue.  As the key content of virtue, it helps to determine whether something is virtuous and it is the basic nature of virtue."

Life is Always Flowing and Changing

"The river, like life, is always flowing and changing, and we do not have any control over the river or life.

"Visualisation is so much more of a powerful tool than most of us realise. If we visualise a successful outcome, then it is much more likely to happen as we are drawn to that conclusion."

"Choose faith. I’ve experienced way too many amazing things in my life to write them all off as being coincidence, being lucky, knowing the right people, or being at the right place at the right time.

-- Rhonda Sciortino

-- Ros Taylor

When You Have Goals To Work Toward

We Have Freedom On How We Respond

--  Alex Pattakos

Important To Manage Your Life

-- Donald Trump

Resourcefulness Is Embodied In The Person

"Resourcefulness is embodied in the person who, when they see what must be done, rolls up his or her sleeves and begins to take action anyway—despite having no idea how to do it.

-- Rhonda Sciortino

Become That Which You Desire in Your Life

"We must learn to become that which we desire in our life. If we wish to be happy, we must act in a happy way; if we wish to be loved we must act lovingly; if we wish to be supported, we must be supportive to ourselves as well as others."

-- Yvonne Teoh Bource

Transformed Suffering Into Service

"Often those who have experienced deep suffering rise up to become role models for us, teaching us not to be bitter or stuck in our own suffering but instead to reach out and forgive others.

Meaning, amplified by extending beyond themselves, became their life’s work."

-- Cheryl Strayed

Right Question To Overcome Any Fear

"Don’t be like the people who allow fear or failure to keep them from trying.

Ask yourself, “What’s the best thing that can happen?” The answer to this question should overcome any fear."

-- Rhonda Sciortino

What Are You Calling Out To Life

--  Alex Pattakos

Don’t Aim At Success

"Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness,cannot be pursued; it must ensue and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.

Regain Control of Our Emotions and Thoughts

--  Alex Pattakos

Person Who Maintains His Morale

"Other things being equal, an unemployed person who maintains his morale will have better chances in the competitive struggle than a person who has become apathetic. He will, for example, be more likely to get a job which both apply for.

-- Rhonda Sciortino

Dreamers Set The Stage For What Is Possible

Look At Our Life Through The Lives of Others

"When we reach out to others and share more details of our life, we find more meaning in our own life; we are actually helping others find meaning in their life too.

We can find meaning by looking at our own life from a distance as well as by looking at our life through the lives of others."

--  Alex Pattakos

The Universe is Ever Expansive

-- Yvonne Teoh Bource

Try To Learn Something From Everyone

Life Can Be Full of Failures And Successes

"Life can be as full of failures as it is successes. Yet in our failures we can find tremendous meaning, and only in meaning do our failures have a useful legacy.

Life is Part of a Larger Picture That Helps Us

How did those skills help you with your new role?"

-- Shannon Kaiser

To Find Authentic Meaning in Our Lives

"To find authentic meaning in our lives, we need courage, which is not the absence of fear but the willingness and ability to walk through the fear—to tread, if you will, into the darkness of life’s labyrinth of meaning.

--  Alex Pattakos

Be Prepared For The Adversity

-- Rhonda Sciortino

Acceptance Had To Do With Simplicity

-- Cheryl Strayed

Deeper Overall Meaning of Our Individual Lives

"We are free to make decisions out of love for whatever is in our hearts. When we stop to look at the reasons for our  decisions, we will find meaning.

-- Yvonne Teoh Bource

Good Habits Can Prevent Adversity

"Good habits can both prevent adversity and help you escape from it. Implementing good habits on a daily basis will help support your long-term goals and sustain your values.

Give Yourself Credit For The Courage

"Instead of focusing of what others have done to you or failed to do for you, on what you could have done or should have done, or on how you may have failed to meet the challenges in your life, let go of all that and choose to give yourself credit for the courage you have exhibited in the difficult situations you’ve lived through."

-- Brendon Burchard

What Had Trapped Me Before

"The first rule I made for myself was to let go of thinking that whatever choice I made was a permanent thing. I would try different jobs, live in different areas, and date different people, all in the name of exploration.

Instead, I became more present in each situation and saw that each person and place helped me for the time being."

-- Shannon Kaiser

-- Norman E Rosenthal MD

Your Real Wealth Lies Within Your Brain

"Do you not understand that your real wealth lies within your brain and your capacity to serve, and not in the vaults of bank?  When you face a situation that is embrassing and you feel old man worry laying his chilly hands upon you, just remember that he can scare you only with your consent, not without it.  It is within your power to shield your heart from the sharp blows of worry, fear and despair, and you can do this  by keeping in mind the fact that ULTIMATELY NOTHING MATTERS."

-- Napoleon Hill

Enjoy The Opportunity Presented To You

-- Bob Bowman

Put Adversity To The Test

"Put adversity to the test: Why are you here? To show me how committed I am? To test my ability to endure? To show me not to take it all for granted? To ask me what’s important? If you have no idea what gifts adversity is bringing, tell yourself this: These heightened times of adversity are fodder for the best growth of my life, and I will be able to look back and know why this challenge hit."

-- Darren Hardy

Don't Focus on What You Did Wrong

"Don’t focus on what you did wrong or what you may have failed to do; focus on the fact that you have made it through some tough times. You’re still alive! And you have skills, talents, and abilities that you may not have even tapped yet. There is still a good plan to be had for your life; it’s up to you to find and fulfill it."

-- Rhonda Sciortino

See The Good Things in Your Day

Cannot Let Your Past Rule Yur Decisions

-- Norman E Rosenthal MD

Think of Five Things You Are Grateful For

"Forcing yourself to think of five things for which you are grateful turns your attention from what you lack to what you have. Your brain kicks into gear, looking for things to be grateful for, rather than complaining about what you don’t have or what others aren’t doing for you."

-- Rhonda Sciortino

How You’ll Feel Alive Again

"Being part of the solution always feels better than being a spectator. If you simply watch a sinking ship and do nothing, you will feel dead inside. But jump in the rescue boats, mobilize those around you to do the same, and, suddenly, you’ll feel alive again."

-- Brendon Burchard

What Really Matters in Your Life

-- Norman E Rosenthal MD

-- Shannon Kaiser

Learn To Live By Choice

"Learn to live by choice. Know that in every moment and with every situation you have a choice of attitude and a choice of behavior. Making those choices consciously, for your highest good, needs to become second nature."

-- Yvonne Teoh Bource

Successful People Do Them Anyway

"The difference is successful people do them anyway. Change is hard. That’s why people don’t transform their bad habits, and why so many people end up unhappy and unhealthy."

-- Darren Hardy

Respond To Difficulties Without Panicking

"When you have responded to difficulties without panicking, know that you can do it again. In fact, every time you respond to something that’s difficult, you improve your ability to do so. It’s like building a muscle!"

-- Rhonda Sciortino

Everything Happens For A Reason

"Everything that happens, happens for a reason. What looks like a boulder on the path, interfering with a steady journey is there to move you to the next place. What looks like a detour is often a golden nugget on your path. Look for them. Save them. They are, when you look back, what makes the journey to your New Story even sweeter."

-- Bob Litwin

The First Step In Coping With Loss

"The first step in coping with loss is to realize and accept that it has occurred. Then you can take the necessary measures to cope with it.

-- Shannon Kaiser

Some Way Somehow You’ve Survive

"Consider times that you have faced a crisis, challenge, or anything that pushed you out of your comfort zone. Some way, somehow, you’ve survived, you’ve coped; you have been brave. When necessary, you can intentionally use your bravery again."

-- Rhonda Sciortino

-- Linda Kaplan Thaler

Using Our Imagination To Picture A Goal

-- Bob Bowman

mind to avoid negativity."

For You To Gain Perspective

"Once you’ve done all you can do to resolve the challenges you face, the process of helping someone else serves to get your focus off yourself and your problems and onto someone else.

-- Rhonda Sciortino

Write A Statement To Affirm Your Desire

"Work out the things you desire in your life. Write a statement to affirm these desires in positive words, and write these affirmations out at least ten times morning and night.

-- Yvonne Teoh Bource

The Secret To Life

"Life's course is unpredictable, nobody can pen his autobiography in advance.  The secret to life lies in finding a way of thinking that can support you.  Life is like a form of practice, a cultivation of the mind.  Having cultivated a mind that regards all equally, one is never unhappy; having cultivated a contended mind, there is nowhere one cannot feel happiness.  To be unexcited when the going is smooth and to be calm when the going is hard is the key.  One who has no self-respect
attracts humiliation, whereas one who is never content (with knowledge) becomes well-learned and one who is never full of oneself benefits more.  Life is a habit we keep up with in an environment we like."

One Of The Worst Fears We Can Have

"One of the worst fears we can have is the fear to attempt something.  That can leave you feeling bereft for no particular reason except that maybe you will have missed your purpose.  There is always the possibility of failure, but there is a greater chance of success if you actually try to do something versus doing nothing."

-- Donald Trump
