"Ask your future self, “What could I be doing better that would help me grow faster?” The benefit of asking this question is that you are able to cut out the distractions that are keeping you from achieving your goals, the tasks that might be draining your creativity, or the things you are doing out of obligation but not strategy. Go so far as to ask, “Will you be proud of me in this moment?”"

"Take a moment to visualize yourself in five years. First, visualize yourself if you stayed exactly where you are now, and continued doing the same things that you’ve always done. Now visualize where you would be if you adopted the view that you can be constantly changing and growing. How different would these two people be? How much does the decision you make today impact your future?"

"The principle of sowing and reaping is essential to our success. If we don’t plant the seeds and do the hard work, we can never reap the benefits of real, lasting success."
-- Sten Morgan
"You need to know that if all your resources were taken from you, you’d still make it. If your clients left, your website crashed, or you were fired from your job, you could still say, “I can do it.” Our minds are our greatest obstacle. Whether it is the fear of the unknown or fear of failure, we all know that we are capable of doing things that we just don’t do."
-- Sten Morgan
"Worrying won’t change anything—it won’t lessen the likelihood of the event actually happening. Instead, make the choice to manage your ten percent, and accept the fact that the other ninety percent is outside of your control."
-- Sten Morgan
"The fear of never trying, never knowing, and never reaching your full potential outweighs the fear of failing. There are people whose names you do not know and will never know because they allowed their fears to stop them. Will you join them? Or will you join the lists of people who faced their fears and lived lives full of success? Are you going to choose to act or stay paralyzed by fear?"
-- Sten Morgan
"You need something else to motivate you besides the money and the accolades. When you balance your checkbook and put the awards on the shelf, if that was all you wanted, you come to find that you still lack purpose and fulfillment. I know this because I’ve experienced it myself. Sure, I can buy a nicer car and a bigger house, but at the end of the day, I go home to my wife and kids and they are what really matters."
-- Sten Morgan
"Time is your most valuable asset, and the choices you make about how to use it will determine whether you actually achieve success."
-- Sten Morgan
"What you believe about yourself and your situation will also determine your action—or inaction. Mindsets, in other words, are what keep us motivated, dictate our decisions, and determine our behavior."
-- Sten Morgan
"True success is waking up motivated by doing what you love and not having an impact simply on yourself, but the world around you. Honestly, I don’t think something is really worth doing if it doesn’t in some way help someone else."
-- Sten Morgan
