"But the fact is that your world is largely created by the thoughts you think, and the things that you do as a result of your thinking. When you improve your thinking, you improve your actions and your results. When you change your thinking, you change your life."
-- Brian Tracy
"Regardless of your time constraints, your life will grow if you make an ongoing commitment to the activity of discovery. And while you’re busy investigating the mysteries of the Universe—the stars, the seas, the worlds within and beyond this one —you must remember that the greatest of all mysteries is the one that lies within you. Your soul, your spirit, can lead you to unlimited discoveries if you just take the time to discover it. Pause a moment now to consider just what the higher Self is."
-- Sandra Anne Taylor
"It is a curious fact of nature that somehow our minds find a way to transform into physical reality the things we think about most. If you expect to fail, you can be sure that you will, and if you find something negative in every opportunity, nothing will ever work out positively for you. Fortunately, the reverse is also true. If you are a happy, positive person, you will attract positive things."
-- Napoleon Hill
"The way to be a success is to do what we like to do, to enjoy what we do, and, therefore, do it to the best of our abilities. That way we won’t have to push ourselves."
-- David R. Hawkins
"Whenever you feel frustrated by setbacks or failures, ask yourself, “What one thing can I do today that will move me closer to my ultimate goal?” Once you have answered that question, do it—and keep moving forward."
-- Pat Williams
"So, wherever you are in pursuing your goals, and whatever kind of fear you may be facing, I’ve got the same piece of advice for you. Visualize what it would be like to get to the end of life without ever fulfilling your potential. Now that’s scary! You should be shaking in your boots about that possibility. Actually, we all should be shaking in our boots that you might give in to your fear, because we all need you and your greatest possible contribution to the world."
-- Joshua Becker
"Everyone’s made mistakes. Mistakes are not the cause of failure —they are merely springboards defining what was out of alignment, correcting it, and coming through it at a higher level. We come out either a loser or a champion, depending on how we handled the mistake."
-- David R. Hawkins
"Each of us is different. No one else in the world has exactly the same gifts, talents, background, or future. That’s one of the reasons it would be a serious mistake for you to try to be someone other than yourself."
-- John C. Maxwell
"Every single day you have the choice to decide exactly what kind of success you want to experience. It can be found in the little things, such as a kiss from a loved one, the scent of a flower, a moment of self-mastery, or a smile of appreciation. Success isn’t a future event; it’s a holographic state of mind, a condition of being free—free from fear and want—no matter how much or how little you may have."
-- Sandra Anne Taylor
"You will set daily routines and habits in place that will ensure progress, give you a reliable structure and shape your new identity, consistently and on step at a time.
You see, once you get the foundation right, once you understand that you shouldn’t be defined and limited by the experiences from the past and external as well as unstable things, everything you do from there, from this present moment awareness, comes out of inspiration instead of desperation.
You will set goals, go for your vision, live up to your values and structure your day not because you want an identity from it, but because you enjoy it.
You can build a new identity while realizing deep down that you are “no-one”. You are pure consciousness that is connected with everyone else.
This realization, this connectedness with everyone else and seeing the sameness in everyone else, allows you to be loving and forgiving in any situation.
This is the foundation for mental strength and groundedness."
-- Kilian Markert
"Read alot; by this you will become a better decision maker increase your personal value and open doors that were otherwise not accessible.
Listen to yourself more; trust your own intuition and don't allow you life to be based on the opinions of other people.
Visit new places and meet new people; you meet interesting people and learn alot from traveling. There's is more to life than you think."
-- John Gichuki Mwangi
"What is it in your life you would most like to change? Think of this . . . the starting point of all change is when we change the dominant beliefs that have been limiting our awareness."
-- Bob Proctor
"Success happens when preparation meets opportunity. Your ability to capture an opportunity is directly proportional to your optimism, skill level, and preparedness. Optimism allows you to seize an opportunity the moment it shows up, and your skill level and preparedness allow you to transform it into a concrete success. The more optimistic and prepared you are, the more opportunities you will seize and the more successes you will have."
-- Jeffrey Spencer
"Make sacrifices to try things. Make sacrifices to get out of your comfort zone. Make sacrifices to do things that are risky, and when you fail, be courageous to stand up and try again."
-- Flavian Mwasi
"Sometimes fear holds us back not from starting but from trying again. Overcoming fear is not a onetime achievement but a lifelong skill. Your first attempt (or second or third) at pursuing something meaningful may not go as well as you would’ve liked, but if you’re ever going to be successful at it, you’ll have to try again."
-- Joshua Becker
"It is far easier to rationalize that it’s too difficult, too expensive, or too time-consuming than to accept the idea that if we are willing to work hard enough, smart enough, and long enough we can accomplish anything. Instead of making a commitment, we make up an alibi. If you find that you frequently invent excuses for why you didn’t do something or have a million reasons why something didn’t work out as planned, it’s time for a reality check. Stop explaining and start doing!"
-- Napoleon Hill
"Sound practical wisdom cannot, it is true, be rapidly acquired anywhere but in the school of experience; but the world abounds with men who are old enough to be wise, and yet are very ignorant. Let it be your fixed resolution not to belong to this class."
-- William Alcott
"But a well-rounded life—one that easily shifts focus from work to other activities—resonates with diversity and interest. Your decision to pursue other interests for their own sake resonates with the Universe on many levels and opens you up to endlessly joyous options."
-- Sandra Anne Taylor
"The goals we set for ourselves are shaped in large part by our beliefs about our abilities. If there are goals that appeal to you, but you have avoided setting them in your life, it’s time to ask yourself why. How sure are you that your beliefs are correct? Is there another way to look at things?"
-- Heidi Grant Halvorson
"The influential people in your life, with their opinions and nudges, may offer the intellectual and emotional tools to help you choose a wise path. But in the end, the choice, whether rendered early on or after years of false starts, is yours alone to make."
-- Marshall Goldsmith
"I believe living a life aligned with your values and passions is the quickest way to happiness in both the short term and the long term."
-- Joshua Becker
"The great majority of people go through life without giving much thought to who they are and how they got to where they are today. As a result, life just happens to them, like a series of random events, with no explanations and few connections between them."
-- Brian Tracy
