More Value Than Money

"Time has more value than money. Do you doubt me? Ask a father who has only hours to live. His children may be young and growing, and he will not get to see them through school. Ask him if time is more valuable than money."

-- Mark Victor Hansen

Into A World of Possibility

"Having a purpose takes us out  of mediocrity into a world of worthy challenges and possibility. Some of the happiest, most fulfilled people I know are those who are in service to others. Conversely, when there is not a clear purpose that drives us, our lives can become empty and meaningless."

-- Andro Donovan

Be Delighted By Simple Things

"Slow down. Allow yourself to be delighted by the simple things in life— The feel of a cool breeze on a hot summer day. The ant determinedly carrying its family's food on its back. The two small white butterflies dancing among the magenta bougainvillea outside the window as I write this. What a treat!"

-- Mikaela Katherine Jones

Good Luck In Disguise

"Failure is often nothing more than good luck in disguise: the destruction of an old way of life so you can create the next grand vision of yourself. When you finally get on the right track, pointed toward that mission that life chose you for, just like the chosen one of countless films, you start to find huge reservoirs of untapped power and support coming your way. Some people call it luck. You know better."

--  Vishen Lakhiani

To Discover Life Changing Talents

"So be open to new experiences. Always be ready to stretch yourself in new directions. Keep your eyes and mind open to new possibilities —and you might discover life changing talents you never knew you had."

-- Pat Williams

How You Spend Your Lives

"Think about it. We only experience what we pay attention to. We only remember what we pay attention to. Your choice of what to pay attention to in any given minute might not seem like a big deal, but taken together, these decisions are deeply consequential. As Annie Dillard has written, “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.”"

-- Catherine Price

The Power of a Purpose

"Having a defined purpose delivers a context that encourages and motivates you to persevere even when the going gets tough. Purpose gives meaning to your life and helps to strengthen your resolve."

-- Andro Donovan

To Make Sure You Get There

"Understanding where you’re going is one of the best ways to make sure you get there. That’s what purpose is all about: having an end in mind, and working a little bit longer, a little bit harder, to get there."

-- Peter S. Temes

Have A Thirst For Knowledge

"Develop a thirst for knowledge. Read, listen, dream, sleep, find those superheroes who you will learn from. Always view failure as temporary. View it as a learning experience. Failure is NOT permanent, and it does NOT define us! Choose your way forward. How will you react or respond?"

-- Dave Menz

The Power of Faith

"The impossible is constantly being made possible because some one dared to believe that it was possible. The great inventions of the past were brought about by those who believed more than others could believe. Their faith stimulated action, study, thought, and effort. When faith is backed up by works, it brings forth fruit. This is the Universal Law."

-- Charles F. Haanel

Look Out For New Experiences

"As you go through your day today, look for new things and experiences you would like to add to your life. Be willing to be vulnerable enough to be bad in the beginning so you can perform masterfully in the future."

-- Jim Stovall

Our Huge Potential Vs Our Limitations

"The main principle here is that what scares us is our huge potential rather than our limitations. And it is the qualities we most admire in others that are a direct mirror of our own highest qualities. So, for instance, if you admire someone for their great courage, what you are connecting to is your courage which you may have not fully expressed as yet."

-- Andro Donovan

Live In The Present or Future

"Man, he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. Then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present: the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as though he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."

-- The Dalai Lama

Your Disappointment Twenty Years Later

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover."

-- Mark Twain

Your Present Circumstances

 "Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start."

-- Nido Qubein

Weapons of Mass Distraction

"Hours that I might previously have devoted to doing things, like playing music, learning a new skill, or interacting with my husband (as opposed to sitting in the same room together, parallel-scrolling) increasingly were spent staring at a screen. I’d morphed from an interesting, interested, independent minded person into someone who had been hypnotized by a small  rectangular object—an object whose apps were programmed by people working for giant companies that stood to profit from getting me to waste my time."

-- Catherine Price

How To Know When You Achieved Success

"The truest definition of success is not to be found in some distant land or on a mountaintop or among the stars. The truest definition of success comes from within. If you haven’t defined what success looks like—on your own terms, according to your own values—how will you know when you’ve achieved it?" 

-- Pat Williams

Leading A Fun Life

“If you get in the habit of your life being fun, if you move through life believing it’s supposed to be that way, you’ll notice when it’s not. I’ve been making life fun for so long I can’t imagine putting up with no fun. But the inverse is true, too. If you get in the habit of life not being fun, you start to not even notice, because that’s what you’re used to.”

-- Michael Lewis

Professionals Or Amateurs Life

"Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the way. Professionals know what is important to them and work toward it with purpose; amateurs get pulled off course by the urgencies of life."

-- James Clear

Enjoy Your Day To Day Life

"While I was there I realized that it was time to live and enjoy the journey to success, for the journey really is as important as the destination. How much we enjoy our day to-day life really matters far more than a brief moment of success after years of miserable slogging."

-- Camilla Sacre-Dallerup

Staying Focused Till Finish

"Stay focused. Your start does NOT determine how you will finish. Embrace adversity even though it can be tough. It is a good teacher assuming you don’t give up and quit. Refuse to believe any garbage about not having options. You have them…or you make them."

-- Dave Menz

Life Dips Stops Start and Speed Bumps

"You may experience dips, stops, starts, and speed bumps. But it’s all part of the process. Those bumps are often signposts designed to turn you in the right direction and get you moving toward your calling. This recoding of your life won’t always be neat and tidy. Remember: Sometimes you have to destroy a part of your life to let the next big thing enter."

--  Vishen Lakhiani

You Must Be Ready

"Talent alone won’t make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: “Are you ready?”

-- Johnny Carson, entertainer

When You Have Great Passion

"If you have great passion but no talent, you’re going to fall flat on your face. If you are loaded with talent but doing a job you hate, every day of your life will be drudgery. But if your passion and your talent are focused intensely on a single goal, you can’t miss. That’s my secret of success—finding, and staying at, the intersection of talent and passion."

-- Pat Williams
