"Self-confidence is nothing more than knowledge. Let me say that again: To be self-confident, all you need is information. Look at it this way. If you do something well, five thousand times, you know you can do it; therefore, you are confident. If you have never done it before, you don’t KNOW."
-- Bob Proctor
"You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. Life is divided into three terms —that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future."
-- Bob Proctor
"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny. It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination."
-- Bob Proctor
"Don’t let yourself be swayed by the opinions of others, by the chatter of the masses. Only you can decide to develop an unflinching will, to concentrate, to stay focused on your chosen objective until the task is successfully completed."
-- Bob Proctor
"You cannot get improved results in your life with the same old behavior. The beautiful truth about change with respect to results is that one small change in your actions often produces a tremendous change in your results. You have the potential to change, to take charge of your life, and to really live. Do it now!"
-- Bob Proctor
"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
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
-- Bob Proctor
"Develop a healthy dissatisfaction with your life. Set new goals—big, exciting goals. Then, set out to achieve them with the same enthusiasm you knew and used as a baby. That is called living. Everything else is dying."
-- Bob Proctor
"If you are not presently living the way you really want to live, don’t feel bad about it or have any regrets about the past. Today can be the beginning of a new life. Just as you turn the page on the calendar to reveal a new day or month, mentally you can do that with your life."
-- Bob Proctor
"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
"Successful living consists of knowing and being. When the two are separated, there is nothing but frustration and failure. To know all about love without loving can be disastrous. In the same way, knowing all about the right way to live and not acting on what you know, on a daily basis, can prove to be very destructive for anyone."
-- Bob Proctor
"There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all."
-- Bob Proctor
"Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It’s a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment. I attempt an arduous task; but there is no worth in that which is not a difficult achievement."
-- Bob Proctor
