-- Adam Grant
"Success follows those who stay focused; those who can be disciplined enough to follow the same pathway until they see reward. Call it habit, ritual, routine or staying away from fads and shiny objects, the result is the same."
-- Stephen Macdonald

The lessons learned from other people's triumphs and struggles become tools you can use to guide your journey.

If you are suffering from some of these challenges, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or simply due to the relentless societal drive toward ease and hyper-virtualization, then there is no time to waste in taking back your power right now. You will experience an immediate boost in positive energy, creative thinking, and overall health."

-- Stephanie Philp
"“I have the belief that when you do work that is close to your heart and you believe it is valuable in some way, it will come back in some way. So far that’s been the case.”"
-- Harriet Rubin
"Many people keep creating the same experience over and over again. This can range from deepseated patterns, learned in our childhoods, to habits that we've acquired over the years. When I was a kid, my mother often said: “If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.” She would tell me this to try to get me to make better choices, usually around school or the house. But this simple little saying is actually an important lesson for all of us."

"Since you become what you think about most of the time, a major definite purpose gives you a focus for every waking moment. Having a major definite purpose helps activate your subconscious mind on your behalf. Any thought, plan, or goal that you can clearly define in your conscious mind will be brought into reality by your subconscious mind."
-- Andrew Clancy
"Often what is most precious is hidden from our eyes. Approaching what we already know with an open-mind can help us to discover much more."
-- Mario Alonso Puig
"I've learned that it's important to stay teachable. There are many people who are experts, but the experts that I admire the most probably would not describe themselves as experts. They would probably describe themselves as lifelong learners or students of life. They are always learning and growing and changing, no matter what their age. I've tried to emulate this in my life. When we believe we are experts, it's harder to be in the mindset to learn new things."
-- Joel Fotinos
"I've worked with hundreds of people who have set goals, and my experience has shown me that once they've established what they want to achieve, those people who take immediate action to get the goal underway, are often more likely to be successful."
-- Stephanie Philp

"By reading, the knowledge learned through hearing others’ stories gives meaning to our lives and inspires us to reach for more. Through the narratives of others, we expand our perspectives, cultivate empathy, and develop a deeper appreciation for the vast spectrum of human experiences. Reading allows us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and connection, transcending the confines of our lives to embrace the countless lives that have shaped our world. Every book, every story, and every perspective become a stepping stone in our evolution, inviting us to live a thousand lives and enriching our understanding of what it truly means to be human."
-- Brent M. Jones
"We have to understand in a deep way that having what we truly want in life contributes to the general state of human happiness and supports others in creating more happiness for themselves. To create prosperity, we need to visualize ourselves living as we desire to live, doing what we love, feeling satisfied with what we attain, in a context of other people doing the same."
-- Shakti Gawain
"We can produce new brain cells and improve our mind’s clarity and focus until we die. One way to do this is to take on daily meditation, along with new learning challenges, be it chess, the ukulele, a foreign language, knitting, or by becoming a writer at the age of one hundred and six. New skills, practiced repeatedly, stimulate brain growth. But your brain also depends on cardiovascular activity to stay mentally acute and even grow. The “move it or lose it” idiom doesn’t just apply to maintaining that fit and ferocious figure."
-- Mark Divine
"Everything you do or achieve in life —every thought, feeling, or action —is controlled and determined by your self-concept. Your self concept precedes and predicts your levels of performance and effectiveness in everything you do. It is the master program of your mental computer; everything you accomplish in your outer world is a result of your self-concept."
-- Andrew Clancy
"In order to go somewhere, first you must know where you're starting from. If you were to go on a journey using the GPS function on your smartphone, you would need both the starting point and the ending point to get the directions. It's the same with the story of your life. Let's begin by getting clear about where you are as you write this new chapter. It's the first step in creating your new prosperous story."
