Why It Is Important To Write Down You Goal

"It is important that you write down your goal, or your dream, or the kind of life you would like to lead (in whatever form – electronic or paper). Make sure that you can see it every day – there is little point in writing something down and then it disappearing into a folder on your computer or a page in your diary."

-- Sue Hadfield


"You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in."


-- David Whyte


"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

-- Khalil Gibran

What Is Concentration

"Concentration, in the sense in which it is here used, means the ability, through fixed habit and practice, to keep your mind on one subject until you have thoroughly familiarized yourself with that subject and mastered it.  It means that ability to control your attention and focus it on a given problem until you have solved it."

-- Napoleon Hill


"Beliefs separate. Loving thoughts unite."

-- Paul Ferrini


"As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate."

-- Wayne Dyer

Where Does Your Achievement Begin

"All personal achievement starts in the mind of the individual. Your personal achievement starts in your mind. The first step is to know exactly what your problem, goal, or desire is. If you're not clear about this, then write it down, and rewrite it until the words express precisely what you are after."

-- W. Clement Stone


"Our ego focuses on how we are different from the rest of the world. Our soul lives when we experience how we are the same.  Any time you separate yourself from other people or from situations, you know your personality is in control. At such times, shift your perspective to build connection and you will move into soul.

As our picture of life becomes larger, more things make sense and we have a greater playing field for life to unfold - naturally."

-- John Robson

How Do You Act Your Best

"You are what you think you are. If your appearance makes you think you're inferior, you are inferior. If it makes you think small, you are small. Look your best and you will think and act your best."

-- David Joseph Schwartz


"When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. ... Forgive yourself and move on."

-- Bernie S. Siegel


"Listening is being able to be changed by the other person."

-- Alan Alda

Where Our Own Power Lies

"It is so convenient to blame others when we are consciously our unconsciouly run by our fears.  While our tendency is to resist our own responsibility in the matter, our power lies in changing what doesn't work."

-- Susan Jeffers


"How do we take something away? As we cultivate higher awareness, we begin to see just how much we have added things that really aren't there to our picture of reality. Our beliefs, concepts and emotions all add layers of meaning to physical reality, but that meaning exists for us only - it has no objective existence. For example, the word 'mother' has a complicated network of meaning for each of us."

"Become aware of how your beliefs and emotions colour your perception of different events in your life. See if you can begin to step out of your fabrications to experience the truth and spaciousness of what is."

-- John Robson

When Visualization Become Reality

"If we continue to practice the visualization intentionally, our unconscious mind explores the other option: turning our visualization into a reality. This process creates improved results in every area of life and relationships, and is used by many successful people all over the world."

-- Gary Dooley


"Toys are put on this Earth to be played with by a child."

-- John Lasseter


"To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day."

-- Lao Tzu

Tackle One At A Time

"If you find yourself with a list of goals, then choose the one that will make the biggest difference to your life. Lots of people don't have one big goal, but several different ones – you can achieve them all – just tackle one at a time."

-- Sue Hadfield


"I learned... that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic, striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness."

-- Brenda Ueland


"I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of quiet life stimulates the creative mind."

-- Albert Einstein

Reasons for Happiness and Unhappiness

"One of the reasons why happiness and unhappiness are so unpredictable is because they are mainly in your head.  To a large degree, happiness is a habit, and good habits have to be developed and cultivated.  To develop a good habit, or skill, you have to work at it, you have to practice it, and the same goes for happiness."

-- Barry Parker


"Stress, fear, negativity, too much to do and doing things for others at the expense of our own needs -- these all stifle our innate creativity. Relaxation, fun, meditation, and going after our dreams all get the creative juices flowing. Soul is always creative, always fresh and new."


"How can you create more space in your life to allow the soul's energy out to play?"

-- John Robson

Serious Learning vs Casual Learning

"There is a great deal more effort involved in serious learning than in casual learning.  In everything you do, be it self-observation, reading or observing others, the intensity of your efforts will have a profound effect on the amount of knowledge you gain."

-- Jim Rohn


"Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way."

-- John Stuart Mill


"If we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have meaning.... The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living."

-- Marion Woodman

Everything in Your Life is There for a Reason

"If you take the approach that “good” is not an accident, that everyone and everything that shows up in your life is there for a reason, and that the universe is moving you toward your ultimate destiny for learning, growth, and achievement, you’ll begin to see every event—no matter how difficult or challenging—as a chance for enrichment and advancement in your life."

-- Jack Canfield


"Everybody builds a dream in their lifetime. You're either going to build your dream, or somebody else's. So build your own!"

-- Christopher LaBrec


"We don't have to agree with each other in order to think well together. There is no need for us to be joined at the head. We are already joined by our human hearts."

-- Margaret Wheatley
