"We are living today in one of the greatest times in all of human history. There are more opportunities and possibilities for you to accomplish more in every area in your life than have ever existed before, and if anything, it is only getting better, year by year."
-- Brian Tracy
"Here’s a critical point: Once you have initiated the cause, the effect takes place by itself. Once you have pushed the rock down the hill, it rolls by itself, by the law of gravity. Once you have planted a positive or negative seed in your mind, either flowers or weeds will grow. You can control the cause, but the effect happens automatically, whether you want it to or not."
-- Brian Tracy
"The most important application of the law of cause and effect is this: Thoughts are causes, and conditions are effects. Your thought is creative. You determine what happens to you by the thoughts you think, especially those thoughts that are charged with emotion, either positive or negative. Your thoughts are like the computer in a guided missile. They lead you unerringly to your target."
-- Brian Tracy
"Your natural state is to be happy, healthy, joyous, and full of excitement at being alive. You should wake up each morning eager to start the day. You should feel wonderful about yourself and your relationships with the people in your life. As a fully functioning, mature adult, you should be doing things every day that move you upward and onward toward the realization of your full potential. You should be grateful for all your blessings, in every area of your life."
-- Brian Tracy
"THE BETTER YOU THINK, the better results you will get and the more successful you will be in every area. The most important measure, the only measure of the quality of your thinking, is the results you get, the consequences of what you decide to do as a result of the decisions you make."
-- Brian Tracy
"By the Law of Correspondence, which says, 'As within, so without,' your outer life will begin to correspond to and mirror or reflect your inner life. As your inner life changes, your outer life changes to reflect this new thinking. Shakespeare wrote, 'There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.'"
-- Brian Tracy
"Perhaps the greatest discovery in human history is that “you become what you think about—most of the time.” Your beliefs, either positive or negative, helpful or hurtful, largely determine everything you do and how you do it."
-- Brian Tracy
"Here is a simple way to transform your thinking to that of the most positive and successful people in our society. Think about the biggest problem that you have in your life today. Now imagine that this problem has been sent to you as a gift, to teach you something. Ask yourself, 'What is the lesson or lessons that I can learn from this situation that can help me to be happier and more successful in the future?'"
-- Brian Tracy
""Very often, when you change your perspective, you see things differently, make different decisions, and get different results. Napoleon Hill says in his success classic Think and Grow Rich that “within every problem or difficulty there lies the seed of an equal or greater benefit or advantage.”
-- Brian Tracy
"You have the mental ability right now to set any goal and achieve everything you could ever want or hope for in life. By using your brain—your ability to think, plan, and create—with greater precision and accuracy, you can solve any problem, overcome every obstacle, and achieve any goal you can set for yourself."
-- Brian Tracy
"The world is full of people who are doing what unhappy, unsuccessful, frustrated people do, and then they are amazed that they get the same results. But this is not a matter of accident, random chance, or bad luck. It is simply a matter of law."
-- Brian Tracy
"Here’s the first rule of the law of cause and effect: If you do what successful, happy people do, over and over, there is nothing that can stop you from eventually getting the same results that they do. The second rule is this: If you don’t do what successful, happy people do, nothing can help you."
-- Brian Tracy
"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
"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
"You are capable, right now, of living a wonderful life full of meaning and purpose, having a positive effect on numerous people. But before you can realize your full potential for personal greatness, you need to understand who you are and how you got to where you are today."
-- Brian Tracy
"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
"But even if your life is moving along in a satisfactory way, you may have, deep within your thinking, a negative memory or block that can be holding you back from accomplishing something extraordinary with your life. When you identify this block and remove it, you will suddenly begin to make more progress in a few weeks or months than you might have made in several years."
-- Brian Tracy
"Instead of being happy, enthusiastic, and optimistic about their lives and the future, many people are still fearful, negative, insecure, worried, angry, and frustrated. They have mental blocks, fears, and frustrations, all rooted in previous experiences, that hold them back from fulfilling their potential and becoming everything they are capable of becoming."
-- Brian Tracy
"The great goal of your life is to remove all those fears, doubts, insecurities, negative emotions, and false beliefs that hold you back until all that remains is the very best person that you could possibly become."
-- Brian Tracy
"Success, too, is the ability to solve problems. The most effective and respected people in every field are those who are the most capable of dealing with the problems that arise in that field."
-- Brian Tracy
