"“Rest is not something that the world gives us,” writes Soojung- Kim Pang. “It’s never been a gift. It’s never been something you do when you’ve finished everything else. If you want rest, you have to take it. You have to resist the lure of busyness, make time for rest, take it seriously, and protect it from a world that is intent on stealing it.”"

"Take any phenomenal and wildly successful individual in any field of endeavor from sports to the performing arts to literature to leadership, and you’ll find that greatness is not made in mere hours of repetition, but in an intense desire to continually top oneself and to transform raw talent into absolute mastery. Greatness has more to do with how you invest your hours than with accumulating a specific number of hours."
-- Pat Williams
"Give up your need to be perfect. As long as you're in your body, you still have things to learn and experience. It is not your job to be perfect; it is your job to share your unique gifts and your love. In so doing, you will inspire and uplift others."
-- Mikaela Katherine Jones
"The ability to produce is found to be the real source of wealth of the individual. It is for this reason that he who has his heart in his work is certain to meet with unbounded success. He will give and continually give, and the more he gives the more he will receive. Thought is the energy by which the law of attraction is brought into operation, which eventually manifests in abundance in the lives of men."

"We should all commit to an ongoing expedition within our own personal and professional development. What things are you going to know, master, create, or achieve in the coming months and years that are beyond your known horizon today?"
-- Jim Stovall
"If you’re an absolute beginner at something, it probably means that you’re trying something new, which can feel scary. And trying new things is the only way to expand your collection of interests, hobbies, and passions and open up more paths to True Fun. We should be embracing that beginner feeling, not running away from it."
-- Catherine Price
"You want it. You are thirsty for it. You want it really bad, and you’re willing to do anything that’s legal and ethical in order to get it done. This is the crux of an entrepreneur!"
-- Dave Menz
“'At the end of my life, what do I want to leave as my legacy?' How would you like to be remembered twenty or fifty years from now? What goals would you like to accomplish to define the life you lived?"
-- Pat Williams
"Be wary of mentally going over everything that’s worrying you once you’re in bed, and try not to dwell on all the bad things that happened during the day, or might happen tomorrow. Focus on something joyful and positive that happened to you or brought a smile to your face. However bad the day has been, there’s always something positive to hold onto."
-- Marian Rojas Estape
"The most purposeful people I know all seem to have clear disciplines and rituals. If they are fit, they tend to have a regular gym routine, run or some other regular physical activity. If they are happily married, they tend to spend quality time with their families. If they are calm, they regularly do yoga or meditate every day. If they are muscle bound, they obviously do a lot of weight training. The truth will out from every pore! Anything you have achieved in life has come about through a regular commitment."
-- Andro Donovan
"I’ll tell you that it’s perseverance; it’s having a heartfelt passion and emotionally driven passion—something you want to solve on the planet that wakes you up in the morning and keeps you up at night. For other people, it might be something they despise or some injustice in the world they want to solve. I know a lot of the time, doing anything big and bold in the world is hard, unless you have that emotional guiding star, that passion—most people fail by giving up—not by something that stops them."
-- Vishen Lakhiani
"Indeed, doing just one thing at a time is a great way to rebuild your attention span, which likely has atrophied as a result of being bombarded by constant distractions and stimulation."
-- Catherine Price
"Grit is defined by how hard you’re willing to work without giving up. It is this grittiness that allows you to be persistent and resilient in the face of failure, loss, success, and challenge. It keeps you committed. The successful utilize grit while the fearful don’t dig deep enough to find it."
-- Sherrie Campbell
"Hard thinking is mental mining and deep, penetrative thinking enables the thinker to convert gold in the mind into gold in the hand. Mental mining like gold mining requires concentration. To concentrate is to fix the attention on a common center; to centralize and intensify attention; to make the mind one-pointed. One hundred percent attention is concentration."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"Finding your path and what you are passionate about is not always clear. I have heard people refer to certain careers as ‘a calling’. The jobs that are described in this way are often teaching, medicine or nursing, but as far as I am concerned any job that gives you a sense of satisfaction and gives you an opportunity to express some of your values is a job worth doing."
-- Andro Donovan
"Do you want to be successful in your life and in your chosen career? Then identify your passion and pursue it for all you’re worth. Once you’ve found the goal that excites you, motivates you, and stirs your passion, you are well on your way to a rewarding and successful life."
-- Pat Williams
"If you truly want to find happiness and success in life, don’t settle for less than. Set your standards at a level that seems almost unachievable and don’t ever, ever settle. Think about your hustling. Have you done enough to achieve your dream? Never…never…say never."
-- Dave Menz
"At its most basic level, the challenge we face is time—not just how we think about its value but how much of it is being consumed by our devices. There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and we sleep for at least a quarter of them. Before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the average adult was spending upward of four hours a day on their phone, and for many of us, the number is now even higher."
