Making A Huge Difference

"Don’t try to consume the meal of your life in a single bite—take it gradually, in manageable bites, confident that all of the changes you are making in your life day by day will add up to a huge difference when you reach your goal."

-- Pat Williams

You Control Everything

"Constantly engaging in negative and fearful thinking is like taking poison every day. It makes your energy toxic and sends out wave after wave of agitating resonance.  In the pursuit of success—or any kind of happiness—it’s your thinking that matters most. Your consciousness, your energy, and your intentions revolve around this important personal power. Take control of your thoughts and you control everything!"

-- Sandra Anne Taylor

Resilience From A Baby Walk

 "A few weeks ago I was watching a baby learn how to walk.

She was engrossed.

She made an effort to get up, felt her legs shake, stumbled, fell on her bum.

She was unfazed by this fall. She instantly began again. Stood up, wobbled, fell.

Again.

And again.

I detected no stress, no fear, no ego trip, no drama, no discouragement, no sense of failure. No wondering if it was worth it, no giving up, no dejection, no second guessing, no overthinking, no dismay, no blame, no loss of confidence.

Again.

I wish I could do everything the way I learned to walk."

-- Dushka Zapata 

The Six Ds of Goal Achievement

 "This is what you need in order to achieve any goal:

Desire: You can’t achieve anything that you really, truly don’t want to achieve.

Some people just “wish” to achieve something, but they lack the desire, determination and passion to actually take action Desire is the starting point of all achievement.

Determination: You can’t achieve anything without having the courage to step out of your comfort zone to pursue your goal. You will be challenged by the people and the culture that surrounds you. “What are you doing? You will never achieve this! Be real”

Determination to make things happen is a key ingredient to achieve anything in life. Be in control!

Discipline: You must step away from motivation and emotions. Train yourself to do whatever it takes in a controlled and habitual way. Discipline is doing whatever it takes, even if you don’t want to. Motivation is an emotion, it comes and goes. Discipline is a decision followed by a series of actions.

Devotion: You must love what you do. Enthusiasm for your goal is a driver to keep going. Discipline says, “I need to.” Duty says, “I have to.” Devotion says, “I want to.”

Dedication: Your level of commitment to achieve your goal. Dedication doesn’t have days off. This is where willpower, perseverance, persistence and tenacity come into play. Lack of dedication is an insult for your goal. Obsession is what lazy people call dedication. Dedication is execution.

Destiny: We determine our destiny by the actions we take today. I’m the architect of my own destiny. The only person you are destined to become, is the person you decide to be. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen— Make them happen!"

-- Hector Quintanilla

How To Gain A Sense of Accomplishment

"Practicing self-discipline means that if you want to focus on priorities, you should work on them early. As early in the day as possible — in fact, start right after breakfast. Do that task that you’ve been putting off all week before lunchtime. Write up a plan for the school or work week ahead of time. Finish up doing homework or reviewing your exam questions that you’ve been procrastinating on for days because you’d rather do something more fun. The benefit? You gain a sense of accomplishment early that will make you feel better about the whole day."

-- Nela Canovic

Never Be Afraid of Failure

"Failure is our master. I believe most of us already read the same stories about big successful people failed a lot in their life before becoming today's top news. Some maybe true some maybe fake, hear other people story, some of them may walk the same path. So don't be afraid for making mistake and fail at something, take that opportunity to check the battlefield and comeback with necessary ammunition!"

-- Kevin Gosal

Why Do Things You Cannot

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ … You must do the thing you think you cannot do."

-- Eleanor Roosevelt

Life Without Routine

"It's no wonder that most people nowadays wake up feeling tired because they sleep too late and wake up too early. One of the side effects of a more sedentary lifestyle is not following a routine.  This may not affect you much as an adult in your 20s. However, if your body is always going to be confused, you’re soon going to face symptoms of exhaustion. Premature ageing, poor metabolism, and mood swings are just some of the signs that you need to fix your schedule.  This will affect all aspects of your social, professional, and personal growth too. It's best to set up a healthy routine that is customized for your comfort and growth."

-- Madison Laken

Be The Person You Are

"Be open-minded. Don’t cling onto beliefs so much. Life is better lived learning. Be humble and kind. Be charitable. Be calm. Be happy with what you have. Grow in silence and appreciate things for what they are. Let go of old thoughts - welcome in new thoughts. Live honestly. Write when you can. Read when you can. You are on your own path. Make use of it, network, meet people. Meet many different kinds of people, learn from them."

-- Jasmin Mous

Increase Your Chances of Achieving Success

"Setbacks and fear are inevitable. The thing that distinguishes the ultimate successes from the ultimate failures is this: What do you do with them?  But there’s a way through it. Instead of focusing on the fear itself, which you cannot control, focus on what you can control: your actions. How you react to negative feelings will be the key to your success. Becoming comfortable with fear, and acting confidently in its face, will not only give you more courage when facing it next time but also greatly increase your chances of achieving success and happiness."

-- Blake Mycoskie

The Law of Goal Achieved

"Everyone who’s achieved a goal knows the sense of self-pride that manifesting something positive brings. Every goal attained breaks a few more of the invisible chains that hold you back from becoming the best you can be, making your future goals easier to achieve. Each of your successes reconfirms to you that your achievements are the result of your efforts, and each validates your capacity to be the author of your own destiny." 

--  Jeffrey Spencer

The Numerous Opportunities Life Offers

"Winners are wide awake; they are alive. Every day you will find them in the marketplace making things happen. The real winners are not just dreamers. Although they have dreams, they are doers: They realize their dreams. They are the bell ringers, always attempting to wake others up to the numerous opportunities life offers."

--  Bob Proctor

Living Life As A Game

"I like to live life as a game. It’s more effective, and it also has the distinct advantage of being more fun. Start viewing life as something worth training for and playing hard. The alternative is to let the current of life sweep you along with it.  We should work to become studiers of our craft. It could be in sales, teaching, or corporate America. We can all become elite professionals in whatever we do."

-- Jay Adkins

Replace Your Self Limiting Beliefs

"Your greatest obstacles to happiness and success are usually contained within your self-limiting beliefs, those negative beliefs that you have about yourself and your potential that are not based on fact, but that you have accepted nonetheless. The key to unlocking your full potential is to challenge these beliefs and replace them with new, life-enhancing beliefs."

-- Brian Tracy

The Motion of Good Force

"Just as negative thoughts and deeds return to their originator, so do positive ones. When you practice honest, ethical behavior, you set in motion a force for good that will return to you many times over."

-- Napoleon Hill

Know How To Do It Differently

"One lesson that I have learned from "failure" is that I have never failed. I now know how to do it different.  It is okay to take a break, take a step back, clear your mind and think straight, but never give up on your goals, sometimes the business you are working on doesn't work, then you need to step up on to the next one."

-- Philip

Do Not Make Excuses

"Don't make excuses. When you make excuses, you’re just setting yourself up for failure. Excuses are just another term for failure. They will not help you or anyone. If something is worth doing just do it. If you want something bad enough, you’ll have it."

-- Flavian Mwasi

Redirect Your Life Force

"We all have the power to choose our feelings instead of being victimized by them. Some situations may be more difficult than others, but when we learn to define our experiences by the lessons, opportunities, and potential power they bring, we shift their vibration and redirect our life force."

-- Sandra Anne Taylor

Great Things To Be Done

"It is better to die with memories than to die with your dreams. Imagine these dreams were the talents, the ideas, and unfinished tasks. Each one of them is saying to you ‘’I came to you while you were alive but you didn't allow me to be a reality'' What would you do? How would it feel like? Look around you, there are great things done by ordinary people like you. It is just the mindset."

-- Morris Abah

A Truly Successful Person

"When people reach success, in whatever form that may be, they finally allow themselves to let go of the idea that these things would bring them happiness or fulfillment, and by doing that, they reached closer to true success.  In my opinion, a truly successful person is not one who has it all, but one who is happy because they have nothing.  It is a person that feels successful without any reason to, one that removed all those negative thoughts, worries and stressors from their head."

-- Lukas Schwekendiek

Wanting Does Not Matter

 "Wanting to do something isn't worth anything. In fact, what you want to do is really unimportant in life. It's what you actually do that matters. 

Wanting to talk to a girl is irrelevant, talking to a girl matters.

Wanting to launch a business is irrelevant, making your first sale matters.

Wanting to lose weight is irrelevant, creating a system to stop snacking matters."

-- Matt Sandrini

Control Where Your Power Is

"Sometimes you don’t get what you want, because you deserve better. When you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening. That’s where your power is."

-- Reven Lee 

Move Confidently in Dream Direction

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.”

-- Henry David Thoreau

The Great Death Teacher

"That’s why death is such a great teacher. It is death that makes life precious. Look how precious life becomes when you imagine you only have a week left to live. How precious would life be if there was no such thing as death? You’d waste every second of it because you’d figure you’d always have it. It is scarcity that makes things precious. It is scarcity that makes a simple rock become a rare gem."

-- Michael A. Singer

Be As Specific As You Can

"When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. “Lose five pounds” is a better goal than “lose some weight,” because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there. Avoid “do your best” goals—they are too vague to be really motivating."

-- Heidi Grant Halvorson

The Only Regrets in Life

"When researching consistencies in human regrets at or near, the end of life, one consistency stands out. Research shows that people rarely regret chasing their dreams and failing or falling short, but they always have deep regrets for not ever chasing their dreams."

-- Dave Menz

The Power of Believing You Can

“The strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness is self esteem: Believing you can do it, believing you deserve it, believing you will get it.”

-- Jerry Gillies
