Holding Onto The Past Keeps It Alive

"Holding onto the past keeps it alive and gives it power in your present life. Instead of constantly reliving an old event, you can heal its emotional damage, and that healing will change you. It is you who needs to change, not the past."

-- Natalie Reid

Sending Energetic Messages Out To The Universe

"You can look at it like this. The universe, which is another way of saying “higher power,” is akin to a big mail-order department. It is constantly delivering people, events, and things to you. You“order” what you get by sending energetic messages out to the universe based on your predominant beliefs."

-- T Harv Eker

If You Want To Succeed

"If you want to succeed, the first step is to see yourself as someone who’s capable of learning. Believing you can master new skills makes it significantly more likely you will do so – so let potential rather than current ability be your guide when making decisions."

-- Deborah Olson

When Luck Comes Your Way

"If you live in a free society, you are lucky. Luck surrounds us every day; we are constantly having lucky things happen to us, whether you recognize it or not. I have not been any more lucky or unlucky than anyone else. The difference is when luck came my way, I took advantage of it.”

-- Darren Hardy

Life-Paralysis of The Opportunities Miss

"Life-paralysis refers to all of the opportunities we miss because we’re too afraid to put anything out in the world that could be imperfect. It’s also all of the dreams that we don’t follow because of our deep fear of failing, making mistakes, and disappointing others. It’s terrifying to risk when you’re a perfectionist; your self-worth is on the line."

-- Brene Brown

First Be Who You Really Are

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you really need to do, in order to have what you want."

— Margaret Young

When Failure Become Terror To You

"If the idea of failure holds a particular terror for you, it may be a sign that you need to bolster your self-acceptance.  Everyone fails sometimes; you’ll make more progress if you learn from the experience and take on board how to do things differently in future."

-- Deborah Olson

Stop Yearning for Attention

"Believe me, it is virtually impossible to be truly happy and successful when you’re constantly yearning for attention. Because if it’s attention you want, you’re at the mercy ofothers. You usually end up as a “people pleaser” begging for approval."

-- T Harv Eker

The Work of Becoming Yourself

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."

-— Anna Quindlen

Many Ways To Be Happy in What You Do

"Some people love to learn, but we can all up our game when circumstances demand; how keen you are on work is liable to fluctuate throughout your life. So if you aren’t quite sure what you want from a job, the best advice is to keep your mind open and never stop learning. There are many ways to be happy in what you do."

-- Deborah Olson

The Very Act of Your Observation

"It’s the very act of your observation, your focus, that produces the result, whether it’s a light particle or a red car.  Therefore the first step to changing your life is to accept that you are responsible for choosing what you observe."

-- Natalie Reid

Love Is Most Important Thing in Our Lives

"Love is the most important thing in our lives, a passion for which we would fight or die, and yet we’re reluctant to linger over its names. Without a supple vocabulary, we can’t even talk or think about it directly."

-— Diane Ackerman

What You Focus On Expands

"I’m a big believer in the universal law that states, “What you focus on expands.” When you are complaining, what are you focusing on, what’s right with your life or what’s wrong with it? You are obviously focusing on what’s wrong with it, and since what you focus on expands, you’ll keep getting more of what’s wrong."

-- T Harv Eker

Happiness is a Sort of Atmosphere

"Joy seems to me a step beyond happiness. Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you’re lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love."

-— Adela Roger St Johns

Stop Comparing With Others

"Comparison is the thief of happiness. I can’t tell you how many times I’m feeling so good about myself and my life and my family, and then in a split second it’s gone because I consciously or unconsciously start comparing myself to other people."

-- Laura Williams

The Power of Nature

"Even if you have to stay inside most of the time, most days, it’s a good idea to spend at least some time outside. Pleasant environments such as parks and green spaces can help distract us from our worries, and exposure to sunlight helps our bodies to manufacture vitamin D. This isn’t just good for our physical health: research suggests that it can raise our levels of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone. A walk in the park might cheer you up on a biochemical level."

-- Deborah Olson

Do Things Like No One is There

"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt and live like it’s heaven on Earth."

— Mark Twain

Working Hard To Accomplish Result

"Working hard and accomplishing a specific result helps us to build skills and fuels our belief that we can achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Our faith in ourselves is stronger if we’ve experienced times when it took effort and persistence to overcome obstacles."

-- Deborah Olson

Taking Responsibility for What Happens

"Although it seems simple, the idea of honestly taking responsibility for what happens in their lives can stop people dead in their tracks."

-- Natalie Reid

When You Feel Like Giving Up

"When you feel like giving up, focus on the outcome rather than the struggle—and push yourself to keep going, no matter how difficult this may seem."

-- Greg S Reid

Mini Goals Are Very Achieveable

"Mini-goals are very achievable and give you a real sense of success. Most people fail when they set their goals as the goals are too large and they get discouraged when they don’t reach their targets."

-- Tom O Nei

Gain Power Over Your Mental Health

"Retaining your personal power reduces your risk of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Many mental health problems are linked to a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. When you decide not to give other people and external circumstances the power to control how you feel and behave, you gain more power over your mental health."

-- Amy Morin

You Chose Your Own Thoughts

"Things may happen around you, and things may happen to you, but the only things that count are the things that happen in you. And here in the realm of your mind, you reign supreme. You can choose to think the way you want."

-- Eric Butterworth

The Work Begins Within Yourself

"Our world is made up of what we observe, using our senses. The choice of what you observe, therefore, is up to you. In order to see the world you desire, which includes the changes you wish to make, the work begins within yourself, not with what you’re observing."

-- Natalie Reid

You Decide What Is Possible

"In life, we often start off by thinking about all the restrictions and limitations that must be taken into account. However, if you start off by imagining that you have no limitations, you will be amazed at what you come up with. The rule is this: Decide what’s ideal before you decide what’s possible."

-- Brian Tracy

Everyone Has Opportunity To Be Lucky

"Here’s the thing about luck: We’re all lucky. If you are on the right side of the dirt, have your health, and a little food in your cupboard, you are incredibly lucky. Everyone has the opportunity to be “lucky,” because beyond having the basics of health and sustenance, luck simply comes down to a series of choices."

-- Darren Hardy

Small Incremental Steps Bring To Reality

"Big steps towards nothing get you nowhere! On the other hand, small incremental steps, practised over time and consistently focused towards a specific goal, can’t help but bring that goal to reality at some stage."

-- Tom O Nei

You Decide How You Are Going To Think

"You may not be able to keep someone from doing or saying certain things. But you certainly do not have to permit him or her to decide for you how you are going to think or feel or act as a result. It is a final choice that is always yours."

-- Eric Butterworth

Empowered With An Invincible Faith

"If a blade of grass can grow in a concrete walk and a fig tree in the side of a mountain cliff, a human being empowered with an invincible faith can survive all odds the world can throw against his tortured soul!"

-— Robert Schuller (b. 1926)
American televangelist, pastor, author

Success is Based on Total Package

"Ultimate success neither comes with nor rides on your next achievement. Feelings of success come with the whole of your efforts, your beliefs, your experiences, your life. Success is based on the total package, not the ribbon on the package."

-- David Niven
