"Worry can infect almost anyone at any time. But if I find myself worrying needlessly, I ask myself, “Do I have control over this situation? Can I change the outcome? Then forget about it!” That’s right. I tell myself, “Forget about it!” As soon as the words are spoken, a certain feeling of relief sets in. You can also say, “And this, too, shall pass.”"
-- John Paul Carinci
"There are an awful lot of people who have a bear up a tree. They have their pasts buried in their mind. They concentrate on the negatives of life. As a result, they end up never doing the things that they are capable of doing. Your self-image is enormously important."
-- Zig Ziglar
"Your own reasons to create are reason enough. Merely by pursuing what you love, you may inadvertently end up helping us plenty. (“There is no love which does not become help,” taught the theologian Paul Tillich.) Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart. The rest of it will take care of itself."
-- Elizabeth Gilbert
"Bad things will happen, and you will stay strong and keep going. Ninety-nine per cent of the things you worry about won’t happen. But the fear will sap your energy and keep you stuck. For me, the sense of freedom that comes from conquering fear is one of the best feelings there is."
-- Trinny Woodall
"Your subconscious mind never sleeps, never rests. It is always on the job. You can discover the miracle-working power of your subconscious by plainly stating to your subconscious, prior to sleep, that you want a specific thing accomplished. It is foolish to believe in sickness and something to hurt or to harm you. Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and divine guidance."
-- Joseph Murphy
"Most people read, view and listen to things without the faintest consideration of what they are letting into their mind, and how that impacts their overall self-image. If you allow negative, violent, sadistic and demeaning content into your mind, it will lead to a negative self-image—akin to an infection. Be careful to only allow nutritious, positive, healing and uplifting content into your mind.… and watch your self-image elevate accordingly."
-- Zig Ziglar
"The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is goalless thinking. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement. Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress."
-- James Clear
"Listen to what bugs you. It might be a message. Don’t let negative feelings just sit there. Do something about them. Don’t let long-term wishes and dreams go ignored. Find out what they mean. Listen to your symptoms. They might be telling you that you have something to dig up."
-- Henry Cloud
"Negative conditioning is the mother of learning, the father of action, and the architect of failure. Positive conditioning is the mother of learning, the father of action, and the architect of success. Do you respond to life, or do you react to life?"
-- Zig Ziglar
"Confidence, self-belief, self-esteem and tenacity are like an ecosystem, they all feed each other. When we practise or nurture one, it grows the others."
-- Trinny Woodall
