Successful and Unsuccessful People

"Since childhood, I’ve known that the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is in the way they think. It’s a lesson my father taught me, and it has guided me to this day."

-- John C. Maxwell 

Your Time Is Your Life

"Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time."

-- Rick Warren

What Came Before The Effortless

"As observers of experts, we are often in awe of their ability to play and perform in a way that seems almost effortless. But the performance is the final product—what came before the play is almost always years of hard work in preparation."

-- Brian Levenson

Problems or Solutions You Will Find Some

"If you think you can’t do something, you probably won’t. If, on the other hand, you think you can, odds are you will. The same is true with your problems. If you dwell on them, they will overwhelm you. But if you look for solutions, you will find some."

--  Craig Groeschel

You Are The Master of Your Own Destiny

"I am master of my own destiny, and I can make my life anything that I wish it to be."

-- John McDonald

Anger Eats You Away

"I now know how toxic anger can be. Anger eats away at you, it changes who you are and how you act. It made me cautious and mistrustful of other people, and I went into survival mode, becoming quite cold and telling myself that the other girls were just jealous because I had a talent that made me special, and better than them. I know now that thinking in that egotistical way was doing me no favours at all. Nobody is any better than the next person, but sometimes we have to work hard to remember that."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Shaping It Into What You Want

"What I call “no-limit living,” or “mastery,” is going to the top of the ladder —that’s where you become the same way a sculptor or painter or creator of any kind is to their creations. Shading, shaping, and making it into what you want it to be."

-- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Your Thoughts Are Your Destiny

"Your thinking determines your destiny. Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right."

-- Christine Caine

First You Need To Love Yourself

"Acceptance is the key to everything, whatever it might be, and is the key to change. You’ve got to be able to love yourself a bit to be able to move on."

-- Ros Taylor

The Secret of Lasting Heritage

"Love leaves a legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth. As Mother Teresa said, “It’s not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.” Love is the secret of a lasting heritage."

-- Rick Warren

Get Up Suit Up and Listen Up

"I believe wholeheartedly that you were put on this earth for a reason. You were put here to build, live, and leave your own personal legacy. You are not here to be a carbon copy, lost in the crowd, not brave enough to go after your dream. So get up, suit up, and listen up." 

-- Sherrie Campbell

The Power of Imagination

"When you imagine yourself doing something, your brain creates the neural pathways that you will use when it comes to doing something for real. Visualizing is like someone going ahead and beating a path for you through the jungle – they've prepared the way ready for when you come along in that direction; the path has been made easier for you."

-- Gill Hasson

Have Faith in Your Goals and Focus

"Fear and doubt only exist in your mind and are never the truth. Have faith in your goals and focus on what really matters, which is how you can help others with your gift. It is not about you, it’s about them."

--  Megan Tull

Don't Waste Your Energy Worrying

"There’s nothing to worry about—ever! Either you have control or you don’t. If you do, take control; if you don’t, dismiss it. Don’t waste your energy on worry."

-- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Definition of Your Life

"How you define life determines your destiny. Your perspective will influence how you invest your time, spend your money, use your talents, and value your relationships." 

-- Rick Warren

The Fuel To Reach Your Dreams

"You grow by taking chances, and you reach your dreams by taking them, too. In a sense, risks provide the fuel needed to get on the road to, as Michael put it, wherever you want to go."

-- Bob Bowman

Just Keep Trying

"Everything is simple. As children we see a bike, we want the bike, we get the bike. Even if we don’t know how to ride the bike, we believe that it’s possible to ride the bike and we just keep trying until we can do it."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Why We MUST Have Vision

"Each goal we set acts as a small step toward making our vision become a reality. We must vision. We have to vision.  It is essential to vision. The life we live is all about what we envision. All of life’s greatest miracles have developed from the tiniest mustard seed of an idea. If others can do it, I assure you that you can do it."

-- Sherrie Campbell

Failure Depends On Your Response

"A failure teaches you something and adds to your experience. That’s very helpful. Failure is an event, never a person; an attitude, not an outcome; a temporary inconvenience; a stepping-stone. Our response to it determines just how helpful it can be."

-- Zig Ziglar

When You Are Without A Clear Purpose

"Without a clear purpose you have no foundation on which you base decisions, allocate your time, and use your resources. You will tend to make choices based on circumstances, pressures, and your mood at that moment. People who don’t know their purpose try to do too much—and that causes stress, fatigue, and conflict."

-- Rick Warren

You Can Change What Is Inside You

"When you squeeze an orange, you get orange juice because that’s what’s inside. The very same principle is true about you.  When someone squeezes you—puts pressure on you—what comes out is what’s inside. And if you don’t like what’s inside, you can change it by changing your thoughts."

-- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Keep Your Interest Kindled

"Passion for a particular pursuit is critical, but, as with anything we love, we need to find ways to keep our interest kindled. Having such triggers will allow you to pursue excellence even on the days when you don’t feel so excellent."

-- Bob Bowman

The Best Things That Comes To Your Life

"Just because you think it will be difficult doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Often, some of the best things in life come from our ability to conquer a challenge through hard work."

-- Amy Morin

It Is All Right To Be Wrong

"One of the things I’ve learned in life is that it’s ok to be wrong. I just make decisions, and I make lots of good ones and I also get things wrong but I’m not the sort of person who beats myself up; as long as I’m generally heading in the right direction and learn from my mistakes I’m un-phased."

-- Ros Taylor

Your Life Need A Meaning

"Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life. We were made to have meaning. This is why people try dubious methods, like astrology or psychics, to discover it. When life has meaning, you can bear almost anything; without it, nothing is bearable."

-- Rick Warren

The Path of Success is Never Straight

"Like anything in life, the path to success is never a straight shot up the mountain, void of any challenge. Each day, whether we’re experiencing hardship or not, is a day we have the opportunity to make a clear and affirmative statement about who we are and what we want out of our lives."

-- Sherrie Campbell

Open Your Mind To The Fascinating Mystery

"Relax, let go, allow, and recognize that some of your desires are about how you think your world should be, rather than how it is in that moment. Become an astute observer . . . judge less and listen more. Take time to open your mind to the fascinating mystery and uncertainty that we all experience."

-- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

In All Aspects of Your Life

"In all aspects of life – even if you are not the obvious choice, you can still win a competition or get the job of your dreams if you work for it and keep on believing in yourself."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Each Step Gives You Time To Look Back

"Doing things one step at a time also gives you time to look at what is working and what isn't, and to decide if you need to change tactics. So, as you go through each step, review the outcome. What's worked? What helped and went well?"

-- Gill Hasson
