"Reminding yourself of the positive reasons why you are working hard towards your goal will help keep you on course. Whether it is the clothes you can wear having lost weight or the decisions you will make once you become your own boss – thinking about this helps."

"You have to do whatever it takes and not give up. Whatever you do, it might not be what you want to do, but it doesn't have to be – it should, however, be a stepping-stone to get you where you want to go."

"The idea of the comfort zone is deceptive – it seems warm and pleasing. But really you're the frog in the proverbial boiling pot. It's the very thing that's holding you back, and it's not doing you any good. The discomfort zone is a state of mind you'll need to get used to if you want to make a significant change in your life."

"Your time is there for you to use as you see fit. If you discover you need more of it, decide what changes you can make in your life. They might feel huge, daunting, even out of reach, but you only need to take the first step. It all starts in your mind."

"We need to work on our self-belief and our self-worth first. Think of it like building psychological muscle. If your inner confidence is weak, you will feel fragile and bruise more easily. But if you've built that muscle, if you're stronger, you'll be able to take a punch. Build your inner strength and you'll see you're enough, even if you've messed up."

"Your strong need may be to be the best teacher you can be, the owner of your own business, a skilled photographer, or the person who can hold their breath underwater for the longest time. Needless to say, the act of Actualization is in the act of doing … not talking about doing."

"Marking your progress really helps. Writing a diary, drawing charts of your journey, drawing pictures … all these things help make the process real, remind you of what you have achieved, and keep you focused on the next step. The same applies whether it is working towards your fitness goals or your career goals."
